Spending an entire summer on tour as a backup singer for pop star Nika Nitro? What?! That’s the DREAM. Especially for Jenni, Lauren, and Maggie, three misfit performing arts students with hopes of making it in the music world.
But being twenty feet from fame isn’t easy. Between crushes, constant rehearsals, Nika’s sky-high expectations, and their own insecurities, this dream is starting to feel more like a nightmare. And that’s before they accidentally start beef with a rival band threatening to reveal a secret that could end Nika’s career.
