The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Beatles, and many other bands like these have one thing in common: they were legendary milestones in the era of rock n' roll during the 1960s. The incredible impact that rock n' roll had on the world during this era was mind-blowing and changed the lives of many people who were in need of such attracting music. Everywhere in America, the music was celebrated and never deemed unworthy. That is, expect for one city that believed it was unholy and destructive of the youth generations' minds.

In the peaceful city of Querencia*, traditional values are held and everyone listens and learns the same things they have for the longest time. When the rise of rock n' roll music threatened to destroy the integrity and morality of the population, they immediately claimed it illegal to play any and all kinds of rock music, and any bands or artists performing this kind of music will be place under arrest without any hesitation. It's been like this for almost ten years, and no one has ever caused any trouble to stay safe and keep their record clean. Except for one group of young boys in particular.

The town's only non-threatening disturbance in their peaceful environment was the rowdy and ruthless gang called Palaye Royale. These boys were known to break into houses and steal residents' belonging and steal priceless instruments and electronics from stores and businesses. Some of the boys have been caught before, but never get fully charged since they don't harm or kill anyone. What the city didn't know was that the gang was secretly a small rock n' roll band who wrote their own music, with the leader of the gang as their lead singer.

The history of the city of Querencia would change as a new girl who just graduated her high school as valedictorian was planning to study at the city's top school, Trouvaille* University, to become a music producer. Her appearance and profile made her seem like the perfect role model as a law-abiding citizen and model student. However, she had secrets of her own, that could both glorify or destroy her reputation. Depending on how things go for her and people like her, the age- old standards of Querencia could change for better or worse.

*Querencia (n.) :a place in which one's strength is drawn, where one feels at home, the place where you are your most authentic self.

*Trouvaille (n.): Something lovely discovered by chance.
