Perfect coming-of-age story filled with sweet moments, raw emotions, and family drama.
Aisha has the perfect grades, the law school future, and a family who expects nothing less than perfection. She’s not supposed to want the boy from the tower blocks. She’s definitely not supposed to be sneaking out to meet him or to play the music that actually makes her feel alive.
Callum has one shot to get his family off the estate. If he messes up, he loses his spot at the Academy. He knows Aisha is off-limits. A distraction he can’t risk and a girl he can’t keep.
But schoolroom banter turns into midnight whispers, and soon, their "friendship" becomes a fire that threatens to burn both their futures down.
When the biggest match of Callum’s life and Aisha’s debut with the musical elite collide, they must decide: Do they follow the scripts written for them, or do they write their own?
