The film is based around the recording of an album in Kingston, Jamaica by Jamaican reggae music veterans. It also “doubles as a capsule history of Jamaican reggae” and shows the band performing the songs at a concert at Le Trianon in Paris.

The musical super-group, a project also called Inna De Yard, is shown collaborating on recording an acoustic album of old songs by each of the musicians, in Saint Andrew Parish in 2017.
