    How would you stop your world from ending?
        
        Sky St. James asks himself this very question when his perfect life as a rock star starts to crumble. As the lead singer of the notorious band, Dante's Inferno, part of Sky's job is to keep the band together. Yet, it becomes increasingly difficult when his bandmates battle over everything from girls to their conflicting belief systems. 
        
        When the band sets out on a new tour, the bad blood makes it seem like their latest tour might be their last. Sky turns to the captivating clutches of cocaine to escape his problems, but even that isn't enough to save him. As the warring pressure mounts, so do Sky's cravings and desperation. 
        
        Oblivious to the band's imperfections, three teen fans are completely devoted to the Dante boys. The ultimate "fangirls" with poster-laden rooms and CDs endlessly on repeat. They will resort to anything to get concert tickets; a path that eventually sucks one of the girls into blackmail to accomplish their goal. 
        
        Little do the girls know, nothing will go as they plan when Sky finally reaches his breaking point. One that he will only be able to overcome with the support of his bandmates. While the girls cling to the remnants of the band and what might have been, the Dante's Inferno boys face a tough choice. They will have to join together for their friend and the band, or this journey may be their final crescendo.
