The cultural clash of the 90s is in full swing, with grunge still holding out as the decade makes way for its pop-era phenomenon. Up-and-coming pop band, VIBE5, and seasoned grunge band, Drainflower, have been making headlines with their rivalry for the top of the charts. The bands have been invited to an exclusive party of Harmony Records after the BEAT awards to celebrate the label’s wins. However the party turns killer when an untimely murder happens, and the bands and their entourages must find a way to catch the killer before all of their careers go bye, bye, bye!
