Roger, playing drums with Sheffield post-punk band The Box, gets to visit the city of Prague in the former Czechoslovakia, and plays a secret gig. Along the way he meets rebels, students, rock 'n' rollers and artists, all trying to express themselves as individuals while living under an oppressive regime.
