Based on the 1995 film, Empire Records tells the story of a group of outcasts who become each other’s found family while working at the last of the independent small-town record stores. Hearing that the shop may be sold to a big chain, slacker employee Lucas places a big bet with a chunk of the store’s money, hoping to get a big return and save the store. When plans go awry, Empire Records falls into serious trouble, and the group must find a way to fend off the encroaching corporate overlords.
