The film follows Murphy's efforts to honour Arthur's memory by establishing The Rumba Palace, a space dedicated to celebrating the joy of percussion and the art of "hitting things well." This initiative reflects the deep bond between mentor and student and underscores the significance of preserving artistic legacies within the community. ​

Interwoven into the narrative is the work of sound sculptor Adrian Sander, who embarks on creating Bruce's final commissioned piece, a brass and bamboo instrument aptly named The Bamboozler. This endeavour symbolises the continuation of Arthur's creative spirit and the enduring impact of his contributions to the world of percussion.
