- Synopsis
- Lupe Q, a Latinx high school misfit, leads the worst punk rock band in the country, with her best friend Toro and not-so-best-friend Pachi. When their music suddenly causes someone to eject a strange worm from their ears during a concert, a mysterious secret agent whisks the band away to his secret laboratory, where they discover their noisy songs are the only thing that can reverse a space alien invasion already underway. But as they realize they are just pawns in a much bigger intergalactic war, they must work together to evade aliens and agents alike, infiltrate an orbiting alien spaceship, and learn to lean on their families and their punk rock to save humanity.
