The Hook:
Ten years ago, they were just two kids on bicycles with scraped knees and a shared Walkman. Now, the bicycles have been traded for a 600cc engine and a vintage V8, the Walkman replaced by industrial bass and emo anthems.
The Blurb:
Jax is a whirlwind of safety pins, smudged eyeliner, and the roar of a custom Cafe Racer. He lives for the rush of two wheels and the raw emotion of a mid-west emo bridge. Dorian is his polar opposite: a portrait of gothic elegance in silver chains and velvet, obsessed with the heavy steel and precision of classic muscle cars.
After a decade of silence, a "lucky" twist of fate lands them in the same Advanced Automotive Seminar at University. Between the smell of motor oil and the tension of old secrets, they realize that while their styles have gone dark, the spark between them is brighter than ever.
In a world of bikes versus cars and Goth versus Emo, can two childhood best friends find a rhythm that isn't just noise?
