In the United Kingdom, a specific streaming platform has not been confirmed, though history suggests a future home on Sky or NOW.

Viewers can find the film on platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Vudu.

The narrative follows the true story of Mike and Claire Sardina, two down-on-their-luck musicians who form a local tribute band. After finding local fame as Lightning & Thunder, the duo navigates the complexities of love and professional ambition while honoring the music of Neil Diamond.
