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. In order to prevent public gatherings characterised by “repetitive beats”, the parliament tightens the legislation. Nothing, however, can stop the young when they want to enjoy themselves in their own way. 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.
