Brockhampton isn't a typical boy band, despite the group's members describing the collective as an "all-American boy band." The group is made up of young musicians and artists who met on a Kanye West fan forum and have since come together under one roof in South Central Los Angeles. Brockhampton's front man is Kevin Abstract, a musician who has a loyal online following and is looking to translate it into real-world success. This docuseries follows Abstract and Brockhampton as they interact with fans on their first headlining tour across North America. While on the road, the group shoots a film project -- featuring Abstract's alter ego "Helmet Boy" -- with the intention of pitching it to Viceland as a series.
