"You think this is all a joke? You think this is all rainbows and butterflies? I hate to break it to you, pretty boy, but with that attitude - you don't have what it takes to become a real musician. You're an insult to singers, what are you even doing here?"
"So you think I'm pretty, huh?"
"You have got to be kidding me."

Melody Parks doesn't have a normal home life. She lives with her aunt and uncle after an accident that changed her life forever. She doesn't have many friends, she sits in the back of all her classes quietly, she gets straight A's, and during lunch, she locks herself up in her biology teacher's classroom to practice her singing and playing alone. No one notices her, no one knows what talent she has, and even though she wants to go out there and perform - she has the worst stage fright. The Lyric Game is the only chance she has before her aunt and uncle cut her off from music altogether.
Leonardo Laws is - simply put - a bad boy. He's focused on having fun instead of academics or figuring out his future. But when his mother forces him to go to audition for The Lyric Game, he's there for the fame. Meeting Melody in the audition room was his worst nightmare, though. With his ego practically radiating off of him, she snapped and told him off right there, in front of everything, and thankfully - before the cameras got there. But when they're forced to become a duo to survive in the competition, not all is well in the world.
To Leonardo, music is just a way to pass time. To Melody, it's a way of life. But in the country's most popular singing show, can either survive long? Do they have what it takes to win The Lyric Game?
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
