DJ Skaraab is invited to play the gig of a lifetime in Brussels, while a revolution is brewing in Egypt. He jumps on a plane and lands in a country he has never heard of: The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
It all goes awry when he loses his passport and is mistaken for a refugee. He is forced to navigate an absurd tangle of eccentric characters and events all in desperately fighting to arrive on time in Brussels.
Samir (aka DJ Skaraab) has just won the local DJ Championships in Egypt. He gets the opportunity to fly to Brussels in order to participate at the "Drop Needle" event. But Samir's flight is redirected to Luxembourg because of a major strike in Belgium. Having never heard of this country before, Samir loses all of his belongings including his papers, music as well as his identity. While he is stuck in this new country, he gets to know many characters that will be part of his journey.
