It’s 2006, and George – a small-town 16-year old – is on the road to total social and academic failure. He dreams of being a star, and knows he’s a gifted musician, but no one else seems to agree. When Max – the son of a famous musical duo – enrols at his school and takes an interest in his music, George can’t believe it, and neither can anyone else. But as the boys grow closer, George begins to question why he actually wants to spend time with Max. George is faced with a potential dream come true – if he can just figure out which dream that might be.
