Welcome to Royal Oak University (ROU), where status is everything, the marble is cold, and the music department is a budget error that refuses to die.
Meet RESHM, the band proving that talent flourishes better in moldy storage rooms than in luxury auditoriums. But if you think their biggest challenge is the lack of funding, you clearly haven't seen this quintet's love lives:
• Wes & Lizzie: He's the band leader who lives on coffee and sarcasm. She's ROU royalty and... well, she already has a "perfect" boyfriend. Their love is forbidden, dangerous, and smells like trouble (or leather and flannel).
• Lisa & The Captain: Lisa, our angel-voiced vocalist in a Linkin Park hoodie, is too busy helping the hockey captain win over a senior. The problem? He's about to find out that his heart's puck only beats for the girl who coached him.
• Charlie & Olivia: The most sensible bassist in the world suffers from an incurable disease: the "Friendzone." Olivia sees him as the perfect best friend, while he just wants her to see him as the guy who plays the low notes of her life.
• Stella & The Quarterback: Our fiery redhead has questionable taste. She's falling for the star Quarterback. The guy looks like a Greek god... until he opens his mouth. Stella is walking the fine line between wanting to kiss him or hitting him with a drumstick to see if he wakes up.
• Beka & Jade: The band's mystical guitarist loses all her words whenever Jade walks into the room. Beka can master impossible solos, but she can't say "hi" without looking like she's having a short circuit.
Five musicians. Five romantic disasters. And an entire university trying to silence their sound. Grab your headphones, ignore your annoying boyfriend, and step into the storage room. Luxury, here, is surviving your own heart.
