Plot

Mok Swagger, a legendary rock musician, is on the search for a special voice whose frequencies can unleash a powerful demon from another dimension, his dwindling popularity driving him to destroy the world in vengeance and immortalize himself in the process. Returning to his hometown of Ohmtown, he discovers Angel, a young musician performing with her rock band at a local nightclub. Convinced Angel has the voice he needs, Mok invites the band to his mansion where he kidnaps her and takes her to Nuke York, where his summoning, disguised as a concert, will be performed.

Angel overhears Mok confirming his plans with his computer. At this time, the computer informs Mok that the only way to stop the demon is with "One voice, one heart, one song", but when Mok asks who can do this, the computer replies that there is "no one". Angel tries to escape while her band races to rescue her. After several failed attempts, Mok relocates the summoning to Ohmtown, whose power plant has enough energy for the invocation. Mok forces Angel to sing and open a portal to the demon's dimension. A massive demonic entity emerges from the portal and begins wreaking havoc on all those present.

Omar, Angel's bandmate and love interest, frees Angel from her electronic shackles before the demon can turn on her. Angel tries singing to banish the demon, but her lone voice only pushes him back. Omar then joins in harmony with Angel, and thus the creature is weakened, injured and driven back into its own dimension. As Mok is pulled into the portal, he realizes that "no one" did not mean that the demon could not be stopped; it meant instead that "no one voice" could, acting alone; two voices and two hearts singing as one were needed for the counter-spell. Mok then plunges into the portal's depths as it seals itself shut. The duo continues their song in triumph as the band is announced as the new super rock band sensation.
