Summary
PV & FRANNY
A girl with a glockenspiel. A boy with a guitar. A high school full of weirdos, mascots who may or may not be unhinged, and a mystery that isn’t what anyone thinks it is.
A dead-serious love story… that refuses to behave like one.
One flier turns into a band. One band turns into obsession. And before they ever play a real set, everything is already ridiculous.
ACT ONE
Overton High is chaos in a controlled environment.
The mascot smokes. The journalist thinks she’s breaking Watergate. The nicest bully in school politely refuses lunch money.
And then there’s PV.
Brilliant. Intense. Completely uncompromising.
She doesn’t want to start a band. She wants to build something real.
Franny Blevins just wants to be part of it.
What begins as an awkward coffee shop encounter quickly turns into a partnership built on music, rules, and one very firm boundary:
No romance. Ever.
Which becomes a problem almost immediately.
As Franny gets pulled deeper into PV’s world, her music, her logic, her investigations, and her completely upside-down way of seeing everything, the stakes escalate in the most unexpected ways.
A hate note that isn’t hate.
An audition that turns into an interrogation.
A band that starts to feel like something much bigger… and much messier.
Act One is the beginning of the band, the beginning of the obsession, and the moment everything starts to spiral just slightly out of control.
