   Summary

   Two local garage bands battle for their town’s popularity, a silent but deep rivalry forming between them.

   Despite this rivalry, when Mike, lead singer for Et Cetera, and Will, the shy bassist for ASTERISK, bump into each other, their feud is forgotten, if only for a few minutes, unknowingly.

   They Bond without even knowing each other's truths, and when said truth is revealed, they've already bridged a gap.

   OR: Mike and Will are in rivalry bands & they don't even know when they meet...
