Miami Connection

In a sun‑blazing Miami that feels more like an untamed jungle than a modern city, the rhythm of the streets is a chaotic mix of neon‑lit clubs, the roar of motorcycle engines, and the echo of martial‑arts kiais. The film paints this world with a kinetic, almost comic‑book flair, where the pulse of a rock riff can be heard alongside the clatter of swords, and danger lurks behind every palm‑tree shadow. The tone swings between over‑the‑top action and flamboyant musical spectacle, inviting the viewer to wonder how far youthful rebellion can stretch before it snaps.

At the heart of that maelstrom is Dragon Sound, a tight‑knit quintet of university friends who have turned their campus life into a living, breathing performance art. United by a shared past of loss, they share a cramped house, a rehearsal space, and a disciplined practice of Taekwondo that doubles as both defense and choreography. Their music is more than a hobby; it’s the glue that holds the group together and the banner they raise against the city’s relentless chaos.

Mark serves as the rhythm guitarist and unofficial patriarch, teaching his bandmates the same focus they bring to their martial‑arts drills. Jim, the keyboardist, hides a quieter quest, searching for the father he never knew, a thread that adds emotional depth to the group’s outward bravado. John, the bassist, finds his own resonance in a budding romance with Jane, a vocalist whose own aspirations intersect with the band’s dream. Hovering on the periphery is Yashito, the charismatic leader of a motorcycle‑riding ninja gang that has claimed the state’s underworld as its own, a threat that looms as both a physical and symbolic antithesis to the band’s ideals.

Against this backdrop of glittering clubs, gritty back‑alleys, and relentless beats, the story teases a clash where music and martial skill collide. The stakes are high, the style is unapologetically bold, and the bonds forged on stage may just be the most potent weapon in a city that never sleeps.
