City of Rock

The landmark of“City of Rock”Ji’An, Rock’n’Roll Park, is about to be tear down. In order to save Rock Park, young rocker Hu Liang spend all his savings hiring Cheng Gong, agent of a failed band, hoping that Cheng Gong would help him start a rock band called “Sewing Machine”, to turn the tide and save Rock’n’Roll.
Cheng Gong doesn’t realize it’s an unreliable situation until he arrives at Ji’An, it’s too late for him to quit so he has to keep helping Hu Liang. The two of them struggled to recruit other members for “Sewing Machine”. The band members, “Crutch girl” with strong personality who just broke up, mysterious handsome guy with funny back tattoo, gynecologist with clogged brain vessels, clever little girl with cute sprite, all seem like weirdo. Dumb but stubborn Hu Liang, perfunctory and gold-digger Cheng Gong, how will they finish this mission impossible, and find themselves in this journey of music? Will “Sewing Machine” make a miracle?
