A wildly inventive, high-energy comedy that weaponizes music and percussion as anarchic performance art, blending crime-thriller structure with surreal musical spectacle.

A tone-deaf cop works to track down a group of guerilla percussionists whose anarchic public performances are terrorizing the city.
