From 1963 until 1965, the FBI undertook an investigation into the lyrics of the hit song Louie, Louie. Stomp and Shout is a rock and roll adaptation of those events, following the heroic efforts of our dark-suited guardians to protect us from ourselves. As two agents probe the case, each step brings them deeper into a tangled web of government officials, Cuban Nationals, musicians, drug-deals, and America's youth. While one detective's obsession grows, the other finds the line between his personal and professional lives blurring. Filled with spirit and song, Stomp and Shout an' Work it All Out) is an examination of a moment in American history when popular culture, politics, and the American ideal collided.
