NOCEUR - ONE WHO STAYS UP LATE.

"It sounds terrifying as it is."

He gives me a small, sad smile. "Everything is..."

In of the summer of 2024, Maxine Isabella Devlin, a misunderstood girl with dreams of making her voice heard, embarks on a strange journey with her best friends, Narcissa, Xaviar, and Polly soon to be called her bandmates. Their fun takes an unexpected turn when they cross paths with a notorious alternative rock band called Noceur at the onset of their American Sleepwalkers tour. While being around the group wanting fun, new beginnings, and the freedom to be wild, the four soon find themselves entangled in the band's tumultuous world. They're fighting against a negative change to the world's love for music.

Harry Styles, the enigmatic and ruthless lead singer of Noceur, sets his sights on Maxine as he knows she's the curious bright-hearted one. He recognizes the talent of the songs she writes as well as her way of performing, sensing she could soon rise to stardom, as that's her dream too. But his intentions are far from pure and not even a little bit kind. He stuck with making decisions on what to do with her, contemplating whether to manipulate her into the perilous glitz of dark Hollywood or to keep her from the path she seems destined to walk alone unaware. But first, it was Maxine falling into a deep well at the moment she lays eyes on him. Little did she know... he wants to manipulate her dreams for his entertainment. While he tries to get a little closer to her, she's the one getting closer.

As tensions rise and the sick secrets unfold around everyone, Maxine's ride becomes a high-stakes game of ambition, danger, and heart-pounding choices. It might just become a trap for the birdcage.

For herself, for him, for who, for what?
