"She rested her head on my shoulder. I took her hand in mine, and we just sat in silence for a while. She broke the silence when she asked me, 'we'll never be able to be together, won't we?' I wasn't sure how to answer that, so I responded, 'I believe that if we care about each other enough, nothing can stand between the both of us.'"
A musical take on the famous play by William Shakespeare, where two famous rock n' roll bands feud in the city of Serendipity. An accidental misunderstanding cause Palaye Royale and their rival band, Calypso, to brush against each other and even create a feud between their fans.

However, when the male lead singer of Palaye Royale and the back-up female vocalist of Calypso meet and fall in love at Calypso's album release party, everything will change for them and their bands. Will their love be strong enough to drive out the hate between their bands?

"Rock 'n roll is here to stay,
It will never die
It was meant to be that way,
Though I don't know why
I don't care what people say,
Rock 'n roll is here to stay"
The year is 1968, and Carina Wisteria has moved to the city of Querencia to study to be a music producer. The town seem like a perfect place for a former valedictorian and law-abiding citizen like her. Only problem is: it's the only city that makes rock n' roll illegal in all forms and anyone caught playing or performing it will be arrested. She doesn't seem to mind it much, until she runs into the leader of the Palaye Royale gang, Remington Leith.
The first time she meets him, she wants nothing to do with him, then finds herself drawn toward him and his electrifying world of rock n' roll. When they start to grow close together, many forces will try to break them apart, including the dark secret that might drive him away from her.
