In the year 2030, society has been reshaped by an authoritarian regime that controls every aspect of life. In a bid to maintain order, the government has eradicated individual expression, with music being the first casualty. Art, creativity, and free speech are now seen as dangerous tools of rebellion, and citizens are constantly monitored. Those who defy the regime's rules disappear without a trace.
Music, once a unifying force, has been reduced to state propaganda. Instruments are confiscated, and public gatherings are restricted. Songs that once inspired hope have been buried, their creators silenced or erased. A generation that lived through music now survives in quiet desperation, stripped of the soundtracks that shaped their lives.
In this stifling environment, a secret underground movement emerges. Rebels communicate through coded messages hidden in radio static, smuggling fragments of banned songs. For the regime, even the faintest note of rebellion is a threat.
Billie Joe Armstrong, once the voice of a rebellious generation, has been forced into silence. Living off the grid, haunted by memories of the stage, his forgotten fire is reignited when he hears a distorted version of one of his old songs crackling through the radio. The signal belongs to Iris, the mysterious rebel leader. Their connection grows through encrypted broadcasts, as they communicate through music, falling for each other while fighting the regime.
But as their bond deepens, so does the risk. Billie Joe and Iris become the regime's most wanted fugitives, hunted for daring to reignite the flames of rebellion. Now, Billie Joe must choose between staying hidden or rising once more to fight for freedom, armed only with his love for Iris and the music that once defined him.
