Written as a college admission essay, eighteen-year-old Harry Jones recounts a childhood defined by the hideous scars he hid behind, and how forming a band brought self-confidence, friendship, and his first kiss.
Told as an interview with the successful but increasingly dysfunctional band after they reach the pinnacle of success, the bandmates and friends try to cope with the amputation of Johnny's leg, Cheyenne's pregnancy, and Harry's unrequited love for Chey.
