The synopsis covers events held in the early 2010s, when controversial American hip hop group Insane Clown Posse fandom known as juggalos were classified as criminal gang by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and National Gang Intelligence Center due to formation of juggalo gangs. Thus led ICP along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan to take on the FBI to have juggalos no longer considered to be a gang. In December 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that ICP failed to demonstrate harm caused by the FBI's 2011 report.
