Chester 'Chazz Darby' Ogilvie and his bandmates, Rex and Pip, toil relentlessly as The Lone Rangers in Los Angeles. Despite their passion and hard rock sound, they face constant rejection from record producers, particularly the dismissive Jimmie Wing.

Chazz's girlfriend, Kayla, challenges him to either pursue his dreams more fiercely or risk losing her. This ultimatum pushes Chazz to reconsider their path, leading The Lone Rangers to shift their focus to local rock station KPPX in hopes of gaining attention.

The band cleverly devises a plan to sneak into KPPX to share their music with the world. They are unexpectedly welcomed by Suzzi, an employee at the station, although not without mischief, including Pip injuring himself while trying to enter.

Inside KPPX, the band encounters DJ Ian 'The Shark,' who is eager to help them promote their unique sound. However, they soon find themselves in a precarious situation as station manager Milo threatens their plans by wanting to change the station's format to adult contemporary.

In a desperate attempt to secure their future, The Lone Rangers broadcast their demo, which leads to a chaotic standoff at the station. They must confront not only Milo but also the law enforcement arriving on the scene as fans gather outside.

As the situation escalates, a SWAT team arrives and negotiator Carl Mace is called in. The Lone Rangers must find a way to navigate the tense confrontation, all while struggling with their desire to be heard and not be silenced.

Kayla arrives at the police station to deliver an incriminating tape but finds herself in a panic, leading to the tape being damaged unintentionally. This mistake results in heightened tensions and a confrontation between her and Chazz that threatens their relationship.

Marcus and Carter uncover the truth about Rex's toy gun, realizing that the supposed threat is a façade. They relay this information to the SWAT team, causing them to rethink their approach to the standoff as they prepare for a potential breach.

During an intense confrontation, Beech corners The Lone Rangers, but DJ Ian intervenes, leading to an accidental gunfire that causes the police to pull back. This unexpected event creates a moment of chaos, allowing the band some breathing room.

In a moment of rebellion, Ian hands his firearm to Chazz, a symbolic act against the oppressive forces they are facing. This gesture empowers Chazz and strengthens the resolve of The Lone Rangers as they prepare for their next move.

Just when the situation seems bleak, Jimmie Wing offers The Lone Rangers a record deal that could change their fortune. Torn between their principles and the chance for success, they ultimately agree and prepare for a rooftop performance.

As The Lone Rangers get ready to perform, they realize the setup is minimal, with only a PA system available. Instead of lip-syncing, they make the bold decision to destroy their instruments, igniting a frenzy among the crowd gathered below.

The destruction of their instruments resonates deeply with their fans, leading to an electrifying atmosphere. The band delights in the chaos that ensues and stages dives into the crowd, celebrating their music and message.

Following their dramatic standoff, The Lone Rangers face legal repercussions, including charges for kidnapping and theft. They serve a short prison sentence, yet emerge as icons of rebellion, having electrified audiences with their performances.

Upon release, their album *LIVE IN PRISON* skyrockets to triple platinum status. Kayla and Suzzi celebrate their success, cementing The Lone Rangers' legacy as rebellious icons who dared to fight for their voice in the music industry.
