The riotous rap trio Kneecap emerges in Belfast, setting the stage for the Irish language’s resurgence against the establishment. Self-proclaimed 'low life scum' Liam Óg and Naoise, along with school teacher JJ, become a political symbol and the defiant voice of Ireland's restless youth. As they struggle to make their mark on the world, and family and relationship pressures threaten to pull the plug on their dreams, the trio weave a narrative that transcends music.
