Xander Hendrix and Taj Gonzalez seem like oil and water: Xander is a cheerful, upbeat gym teacher who loves making people happy, while music producer Taj is notorious for being grumpy, introverted and always angry. They’ve shared a friend group for several years, but have never grown close – Xander has always thought Taj was too cool to be his friend for real, and Taj wrote Xander off as too young and too sunny to ever truly understand where Taj was coming from.
When Xander becomes Taj's mentee at Apex Music's Emerging Artist Program, the two connect over their shared love of music as Taj helps Xander rediscover his musical voice. The more time they spend together – in the studio, at a concert for a punk band they both love, at an industry party – the more drawn they are to each other. But as the attraction and intimacy between them grows, lines get crossed that could put Taj’s career at risk. They must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for each other, and whether their relationship is strong enough to weather the storm that’s coming.
