Veteran movie detective Jared “Ballistic" Jackson and overeager rookie Jonathan “Sourdough” Manno uncover a bizarre cinematic case involving the chaotic cult project Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. What begins as a simple investigation quickly spirals into a tangled reality involving multiple timelines and failed ambitions.

Jonathan becomes convinced the film is less a movie and more about two delusional musicians attempting to achieve fame through increasingly reckless schemes. Meanwhile, Jared suspects something deeper: a pattern of self-sabotage, and possibly intentional anti-success behavior that suggests the band may be trapped in a perpetual loop of almost-making-it, which causes the Gumshoes to sift through their own multiple timelines to discover their true destiny.
