PlotIn the neon-lit backdrop of 1980s Orlando, a martial arts rock band named Dragon Sound takes the local club scene by storm with their electrifying performances. The band is made up of five multi-talented members, all of whom are students at the University of Central Florida and are united by their shared love of music and Tae Kwon Do. Led by the band's frontman, Mark, who is a skilled martial artist and deeply believes in the positive power of their music, Dragon Sound aims to spread messages of peace and unity through their songs. However, their rising popularity draws the ire of a rival band, jealous of Dragon Sound's success and their hold over the city's nightspots.
As Dragon Sound continues to gain fame and the hearts of music enthusiasts, the dark underworld of Miami threatens their dreams. The city's narcotics-driven underbelly is controlled by a vicious gang that deals in drugs and has its fingers in various illegal activities. When the gang feels their hold over the local club scene slipping due to Dragon Sound's ascent, they decide to aggressively confront the band. The ensuing conflict puts the band members in the crosshairs of the violent gang, pushing them to use their martial arts skills to protect themselves. As the tensions escalate, Dragon Sound must face the gang's wrath while maintaining their bond and upholding their ideals in the face of adversity.
