In a distant time, pollution is so bad that people are forced to live in suits that can simulate all kinds of experiences so that no one needs to leave their homes. These suits are connected to a large computer called "The Grid" (The Network), similar to the Internet today. "The Grid" is controlled by the government and, by a man named Jumbo. The story begins when a hacker named Bobby takes over an abandoned theater, which he renames as Lifehouse and brings together some 300 people, from whom he extracts astrological and personal information to make music with them. On the Lifehouse stage, there is a band (which would have been The Who) that played this music based on people's dating. A Scottish farm family, living out of the reach of pollution, who hear about this concert at Lifehouse. After their daughter Mary escapes to London to go to the concert, her parents Ray and Sally decide to go find her. When they arrive at the concert, they are part of Bobby's experiment. After a while, the concert starts to get too big and the government decides that it must stop. Several police troops are sent to arrest Lifehouse, but a force field prevents them from entering the theater. When everyone's music starts to unify, that's when the police finally enter Lifehouse. At that moment, a perfect note, the "One Note", sounds, causing all who hear it to disappear, having entered an eternal musical nirvana.
