The first film in NBCQ is 1234, a witty and affectionate take on the story of the rock 'n' roll dreams of bespectacled Stevie, who endures a job he despises alongside call center colleague/drummer extraordinaire Neil. When they persuade the ambitious Billy and talented Emily to start a new band, the possibility they might be onto something good presents itself. With a demo to tout, they set off to beat the well-trodden path of record companies and gig venues in hopes of conquering the British indie music scene.
