Two old men escape from a care home and go to a metal festival.

Cyril doesn’t like old people, which is a shame because he is one. When he learns that his estranged granddaughter, Lily, has her big break with her thrash metal band, Abscess, he and his friend Neville are determined to show up and support her. Neither of them will ever be the same again.
