Adam is one half of the globally successful American indie band 'The Make'. He is arrogant and egotistical and dates a vapid blonde supermodel. Morello is the lead singer in the up and coming all girl punk rock band 'The Dirty Pinks'. She takes pride in the fact that her band has worked hard to get to where they are and is also seeing an insipid banker. Both bands are performing at one of the UK's largest music festivals, and both are taking their respective other halves.

Andy and Morello meet; after she steals his guitar and he takes a personal item of hers, the two are suddenly inseparable - thanks to an eccentric preacher who handcuffs them together at the wrists. This couldn't have come at a worse time for the two rockers, who have no choice but to perform their sets with the other forced to join in. And their partners - Lake the supermodel and Mark the banker - aren't too happy with the new arrangement either. For Adam and Morello, however, they will soon find out that their festival experience will be one they'll never forget.

Director David McKenzie shot You Instead on location at 2010's T in the Park.
