The film tells the story of THE RESIDENTS, a renegade sound and video collective from San Francisco. Their story spans more than 40 years and is clouded in mystery. Many details surrounding the group are secret,including the identities of its members.

The film opens up on a fairly recent performance as well as an opening statement from the filmmakers: There is no true story of The Residents.The secrets of The Residents will never be revealed by anyone but The Residents, and so far they aren't saying much. Part of what The Residents are about is their camouflage, and any understanding of them must take into account both their organized noise and their organized silence. Which was followed up by a quote from one of the many interviewees of the film, Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons: Our knowledge is still incomplete. Anything is possible.
