Global Heresy (American title ''Rock My World'') Charles and Diana Foxley, a pair of LandPoor British aristocrats have secretly rented their mansion to the American Rock band "Global Heresy", which is in turmoil after the recent death of its lead singer, Ben Gould. Due to a last minute cancellation (and a greedy record company trying to exploit them), the Foxley's are forced to pretend to be the servants they'd hired to help out the group. Initially, they find their guests unwelcome and rowdy, while the band sees them weird in a stuffy way. As the movie goes on though, they end up helping each other in both expected, and unexpected ways.
