Around forty years after the first film, director Martin "Marty" DiBergi creates a documentary of the reunion/final show of legendary rock band Spın̈al Tap, including original members Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins, and Derek Smalls.[5] He visits Hope Faith, the daughter of Spın̈al Tap's original manager Ian Faith, and finds that she inherited a contract requiring Tap to perform one more concert. Marty goes on to reunite with Nigel, former Tap lead guitarist, who now runs a cheese-and-guitar shop with girlfriend Moira and plays guitar in a local folk band. Marty then goes to David, former Tap guitarist/lead singer, who produces music for true-crime podcasts and on-hold phone music. David's wife, Jeanine, has become a nun. Marty finally visits Derek, former Tap bassist, now curator of a glue museum (Derek gets a glue-bottle stuck up his nose), who has composed a symphonic work called "Hell Toupee".A Although tension exists between Nigel and David, the trio agree to perform once more, though they need a drummer, as all their previous ones mysteriously died. They discuss how although the band has not performed for 15 years, interest in their music has increased after a video of Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood performing Tap's "Big Bottom" went viral.
