Two voices. One song. A bartender and a musician, both chasing for something more, hoping to find common ground. One had faced backlash, trauma, and pain for trying to protect the personal song of someone he loved. The other kept writing lyrics, hoping for recognition, even if most of them ended up crumpled in the trash.
One night, Sonic heard the city's grumpiest, loneliest bartender, Shadow, sing, and it sparked something in him. Hope, inspiration, and a new dream. Shadow agreed to help Sonic write music, even if it meant confronting his old past, and the very reason he moved to the city and changed himself in the first place.
Will Sonic be the one to help Shadow confront his hardships and overcome the weight of it all so they can reignite the passion they both truly love?
