Florida anarcho-punk band Against Me! embarks on a month-long tour in the spring of 2004 with Planes Mistaken for Stars and No Choice. Along the way, they court attention from major labels and navigate the uneasy relationship between their DIY roots and the prospect of commercial success. Features twelve performances from throughout the tour interspersed with interviews and behind-the-scenes tour shenanigans.

Over the last fifteen years, Plan-it X Records helped foster a huge cultural revolution -- uniting geographically divided DIY punk communities under one umbrella. With a united ethic and common goals, this scene has grown to a critical mass while some bands flirted with mainstream success and others choose to remain firmly rooted in the basement punk scene. This original documentary climaxes in the 2006 Festival where punks from all over the world met up in Bloomington, IN for a week of music and skillsharing. Original footage of This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, Japanther, Defiance, Ohio, Ghost Mice, One Reason, Operation: Cliff Clavin, Soophie Nun Squad, and more!
