Nuair a fhágann an chinniúint go gcastar JJ, múinteoir i mBéal Feirste, le Naoise & Liam, beirt a thugann ‘cacamas an tsaoil’ orthu féin, saolaítear grúpa hip hap nach bhfacthas a leithéidriamh roimhe. Agus iad ag rapáil leo ina dteanga dhúchais féin–an Ghaeilge–ní fada, más iontach féin é, go bhfuil siad arthús cadhnaíochta i ngluaiseacht na gCeart Sibhialta leis anteanga a shábháil. Ach tá na póilíní, na paraimíleataigh agusna polaiteoirí le sárú acu ar dtús–dreamanna atá ag iarraidha gcuid dánachta a chur faoi chois. Ach bíonn siad ag tarraingt trioblóide orthu féin chomh maith leis an chur chuige ainrialta atá acu. Scannán uathúil go smior é atá lánle gnéas, drugaí agus hip hap. Is iad baill KNEECAP féin atá imbun aisteoireachta i gcuideachtaMichael Fassbender, aisteoira ainmníodh do Dhuais Acadaimh, agus iad ag seasamh an fhóidar son na gcultúr bundúchasach ar fud an domhain.

When fate brings Belfast teacher JJ into the orbit of self-confessed ‘low-life scum’ Naoise & Liam Óg, the needle drops on a hip hop act like no other. Rapping in their native Irish, KNEECAP fast become the unlikely figureheads of a Civil Rights movement to save their mother tongue. But the trio must first over come police, paramilitaries and politicians trying to silence their defiant sound-whilst their anarchic approach to life often makes them their own worst enemies. In this fiercely original sex, drugs, and hip-hop biopic, KNEECAP play themselves with Academy Award Nominee Michael Fassbender in tow, laying down a global rallying cry for the defence of native cultures.
