    The films begins in rural Jamaica, probing into Perry's mysterious youth as well as the notorious events of his peak music production years in Kingston, in which Scratch mentored a young Bob Marley, created the sound of Reggae as we now know it, pioneered a new genre of music he called Dub and invented what was to become "the remix" all while working out of the infamous Black Ark Studio, a shack that he built with his hands then later burned to the ground in a fit of drug addled rage.
