Stephanie "Watts" Watson, an ambitious bassist, hops from audition to audition, unable to find the music that excites her, until she discovers the magic of funk.

Captivated by the rhythm, she gathers a group of amateurs from her town to take on the school's artistic favorite, La Tormenta, in the Battle of the Bands.

Backbeat is a tribute to the 16 and 32-bit games of the '90s, recreating the challenges and triumphs of the last days of analog life and the birth of the Internet.

The story unfolds in the rundown areas of Washington, captured in restaurant spaces, shopping malls, and dark arcades.

A colorful cast of supporting characters, friends, and foes accompanies Watts in her quest to manage, succeed, and sustain a band.
