Synopsis

Rap prodigy Xiao Bu, aided by virtual idol Angelina Jolie, leads his team back to competitive rap battles to pursue musical dreams in future Chongqing.

The story takes place in a fictional future Chongqing. Xiao Bu, a rap prodigy, becomes withdrawn and isolated after his sister leaves him, no longer willing to face the stage.
