In the distant future, a nuclear world war has changed the course of history forever. A single government entity now presides over what’s left of the world, and prohibits certain content that is deemed emotionally dangerous, or “red”, in an attempt to maintain order and keep society working. A collection of gifted musicians, who possess the rare ability to create red content, discover they are the key to overthrowing the totalitarian government that has taken their emotional freedoms. 

Jonny Jones and his group of misfit rebel artists are discovered for operating an illegal Speakeasy, and become Nova City's most wanted. They are forced to turn to a mysterious benefactor known only as "the Collector '', who just so happened to be at the right place at the right time. While Jonny and his crew have their suspicions, they're best chance at freedom appears to be with this mysterious man.
