   Summary

   Leo meets Lisa for the first time on a rooftop one evening, hearing her play the flute.
   Lisa has just moved in with her childhood neighbour, April O’Neil, to start anew. The music loving, daydreaming girl becomes good friends with the mutant turtles through April, especially Leonardo. She learns about the turtles’ battles and traumas of their past, as well as struggling to overcome her own from losing her mother in a car crash. Little by little, secrets of the past begin to stir and open old wounds. But with a little trust, kindness and music, Leo and Lisa start to realise how to play the keys to their hearts.

   (Takes place post-movie. Characters are aged up, Leo is 20 and Lisa is 19.)
