Set in 1990, Pump Up The Volume tells the story of Mark, a shy outsider who rocks an oppressive, small town by launching an underground Pirate Radio station in his bedroom. By day, Mark's a quiet loner at Hubert Humphrey High... but, under cover of darkness, he is the raucous, no-holds-barred, shock jock "Hard Harry," howling anonymously over stolen airwaves to other alienated teens desperate for connection. When tragedy strikes a classmate, the powers-that-be blame the hard-talking radio pirate and try to hunt him down. Soon, Mark must decide whether to sign off for good or Pump Up The Volume.
