Set against the backdrop of Dublin's underground punk scene, the film follows the turbulent lives of the former members of the legendary band Crust, each grappling with their own demons and struggles in the aftermath of the band's explosive breakup. At the centre of the story is Bonehead, the fiery and charismatic drummer who has just been released from a stint behind bars. Determined to reclaim his former glory and reunite his estranged bandmates for one last hurrah, Bonehead embarks on a relentless quest to track down his former comrades.

Weaving the personal struggles of the band members with the broader themes of loyalty, redemption, and the enduring power of music, the film's raw authenticity, compelling performances, and evocative visual style capture the essence of Dublin's punk subculture.

A gritty, humorous, and heart-wrenching exploration of the trials and tribulations of a punk band's journey from the heights of fame to the depths of despair, and their quest for redemption against all odds.
