It's a bar chord for Liam Ramirez whether Leo Quintero's shift from hater to fan is genuine or conceals darker motives─hard to play, so he simply goes along with it.
Once rivals on stage-Liam, the rising vocalist of Euphonyx, and Leo, the bassist of Rhythmix, always chasing second place-their story takes a strange turn when the campus basher suddenly becomes Liam's loudest supporter. Bizarre. But Liam lets it slide, until one fateful sleepover blurs the lines between music and something more.
Rumors explode, whispers grow louder: are they just friends, or simply in denial? And when a scandal after the Battle of the Bands threatens everything, Liam and Leo are left to figure out if their heart is meant to flop... or to bop.
