H. L. Clarke Academy for the Arts is one of the most prestigious and competitive art-centered high schools in the country. The program educates and accommodates only the best and most talented students across the continent. It will be the what makes or break the next generation's brightest performers. Music, Drama, Dance, Visual Arts and all of the smaller programs within are faced with a shock on the very first day: The faculty requires a budget cut on one of the programs, hoping to save some cash and even instill a bit of friendly competition. But when it comes to the performance industry, there's nothing friendly about any kind of competition. Rivalries spark and tension disperses itself, leaving every major to fend for themselves, while others scrounge for alliances and temporary armistices. From the point of view of two very different music majors, take a peek into their worlds of secret societies, truces and treaties. Of betrayals that poison the already toxic environment. Of sabotage and secret meetings. Of the romantic drama that follows musicians like a plague. And lastly, of the music that connects them all.
