A documentary about a provocative new wave band born from tragedy, exploring their satirical critique of society through performance art and their journey to mainstream success.

Originally formed amidst the chaos of the 1970 Kent State anti-Vietnam War protest killings, the not quite new wave band Devo scored a hit with "Whip It" and gained mainstream success with their message of societal "de-evolution."
