Paul is a teenager in the late 90’s when the Paris underground scene is taken over by house music. Starting up a successful DJ-duo of his own, he soon gets caught up in the euphoric and intoxicating whirlwind of a generational musical revolution. While Paul's passion for the carefree, living-by-night lifestyle never falters, the headlights of responsibility eventually come hurtling around the corner.
