Sang-woo, the leader of college rock band Volcano, dies and sets up a reunion for Gi-yeong and the other members of the group. Former bass player Seong-wook lives a hand-to-mouth existence working two jobs. Drummer Hyeok-su is a single father struggling to make a living as a car salesman. Unemployed lead guitarist Gi-yeong dreams of taking over Volcano as the new frontman. At the funeral Gi-yeong suggests they reform the band, but his former band mates all reject the idea. But Gi-yeong persists and gets each to relent, setting the stage for a rock and roll reunion.
