Driven by a live rockin' soul soundtrack, this madcap, semi-mockumentary depicts the escape of musician Benny Bliss from a mental institution. Benny has an epiphany during shock therapy to rid the planet of all electronic gadgets, which he believes is thwarting the growth and evolutionary process of humanity as we know it. Enlisting a bluesy band of misfits, riding in a converted handicapped school bus and putting on shows, little by little Benny and his disciples convince the masses to give up their dependence on technology, and save many-a-soul. Benny quickly spreads- his support grows, the media follows every move that he makes. But where are they going? No one knows- not even Benny, or so it seems.
