Gross misconduct?? How so?
Did you curse out your employer?
Please explain who/whom said that your actions were gross misconduct for refusing overtime??
A simple "I can't work overtime, today/tonight. I have personal business to attend to", normally works.
(Been there. Done that.)
As for any 'references' from your previous employer, if you really expect a 'good reference' from them, from the sounds of your exit, I wouldn't count on it, and I would let any prospective employer know that you left on bad terms, and why.
