The Story

For years the small town of Frazier Park, a.k.a. “the FP,” has been fought over by rival gangs of street toughs who settle their differences in a most unique manner – by challenging each other to a dance-fight video game called Beat Beat Revolution. Brothers JTRO (Jason Trost) and BTRO (Brandon Barrera) are the best players in town, but one evening BTRO is defeated in battle by the maniacal L Dubba E (Lee Valmassy) and dies in his brother’s arms. JTRO turns his back on the FP and goes into hiding as a lumber worker. His friend and game M.C. KCDC (Art Hsu) tracks him and begs him to return to Frazier Park in order to take down L Dubba E, who has since taken control of the town’s liquor store and therefore has control of the town itself. JTRO is reluctant to face his demons, but ultimately relents and begins his training under the tutelage of BLT (Nick Principe). Once L Dubba E learns of JTRO’s return the two agree to meet for a game of Beat Beat Revolution that will see the loser forced to leave the FP forever. Along the way JTRO falls in love with his longtime crush Stacy (Caitlyn Folley), who is presently on the arm of his archenemy.
