When Asher Warren joins a band as the lead guitarist, it seems too good to be true. Cyrus, the lead singer, is charismatic and charming; Aisling, the rhythm guitarist, is empathetic and fun; Helena, the bassist, is reserved, mature, and sweet; and Carmen, the drummer, is kind, but won't hesitate to stand up for her friends. As a group, they light up the stage, and they all seem to connect. They're all talented, and get along so well- until an identity crisis arises, and threatens the relationships between the members. Will it be something they can solve and move past, to become successful artists? Or will it destroy the integrity of the band from the inside out?

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?
