Darby Crash (Shane West) grows up in Los Angeles through a troubled childhood; he does not know his biological father, his mother is an alcoholism, and his older brother dies from a heroin overdose. He is an avid reader and develops into a "frighteningly intelligent" student at University High School (Los Angeles, California), where his antisocial behavior leads the administration to give him Academic grading in the United States if he agrees not to return. In December 1975, at age 17, he proposes to his friend Pat Smear (Rick Gonzalez) that they start a band, showing him potential lyrics and claiming to have a "five-year plan" inspired by the David Bowie song "Five Years (David Bowie song)". They recruit Lorna Doom (Bijou Phillips), Belinda Carlisle (Lauren German), and Becky Barton (Amy Halloran) for the group and confidence trick money for instruments. Jan Paul comes up with the name Germs (band), representing the germination of an idea. He sings while Georg plays guitar, Terri plays bass guitar, and Becky plays drum kit.
