Hannah Montana meets Heartstopper in this story of a teen pop star on the run from fame who finds family, love and gender euphoria when they become entangled with a local band.



Seventeen-year-old pop sensation Sasha may be famous, but theyve always kept a layer of anonymity by covering their face to perform. Facing pressure to unmask in public, Sasha runs away to a nowhere midwestern city, planning to finish senior year and come out as nonbinary away from the limelight. But their plan falters from the moment they meet Wavelength, an alt-rock band, and their lead singer.



Lillian is struggling to keep the band together, caught in a mess of lyrics, late-night texts and ill-conceived love notes. Shes torn between feelings for her ex-girlfriend (and ex-bandmember) and her new infatuation with Sasha. Maybe this stranger is the new singer and the new love shes looking for even though Sashas stories dont seem to quite add up.



If a whisper of Sashas fame gets out, their new life is over. Sashas manager is tracking them down, Wavelength is on the rise, and everyones hearts are in the mosh pit. Turn off the houselights. The bands counting in.
