The film is set in a small Scottish town in 1994. Young people rave about electronic music, while the British government has unleashed a moral panic.

Among those that get off on the wild beats of the new electronic music are also Johnno and Spanner, best friends who, on a fateful night, join others in going to an illegal party of all parties.
