Live like it's Now or Never

The summer before Sunset Curve died was supposed to be the best summer ever. "A summer for the history books" according to Reggie. They were gonna play the Orpheum, go on fun adventures chasing sunsets, and start the rest of their lives as a famous rock band.

But life started going down hill, and fast, for the band members of Sunset Curve. Things are only getting worse with Reggie's parents, and after an unfortunate event, suddenly the pressure of being an older brother is a lot of weight on his back. At the Mercer house, they keep trying to erase the fact their son is gay. They keep trying to "fix it" when there's nothing broken. And Emily Patterson just won't let her son go, too afraid that his chosen life as a musician will fail him. When your own mother doesn't have faith in you, it's hard to have faith in yourself.

It was supposed to be the best summer ever, and it ended up being on of the worst. But maybe it all will work out in the end, after all...the worst summer ever was followed by a second chance and an afterlife none of them ever imagined. Maybe they still will make into history books, but time is running out for them. It's now or never, and they have to make the most of life before time runs out.
