Having grown up in an abusive household and in a constant struggle to find inner peace, a young seventeen year old girl by the name of Lacey Carson lives and breathes for her only savior: music. Growing up with a natural knack for rhythm and beats, Lacey is a gifted drummer with a passion for what she does. She and her faithful drum sticks are a package deal that could never be divided. Her only hope for escaping the prison that is her life is waiting for the day she turns eighteen and can legally move out; hopefully somewhere far, far away from her father. But unfortunately, that day is taking way too long to get there. When a national competition for a battle of the bandsis announced; the reward for the winning band being a grand prize of a million dollars and a ticket to a recording studio in England, Lacey knew that it was fate. All she needed was a band to play with...
But indifferent, apathetic, and cold to the rest of the world, will she be able to find a group who she could trust and befriend? Fall in love with 'mysterious' stranger who may or may not have feelings for her? Discover her own true self tangled in between a web of lies? Or is it all simply just a decoy?
