Storyline
Henry is a business student who has a deep love for music. He falls in love with the lead singer of a local band who’s in dire need of a drummer for the following night's Battle of the Bands. After a quick internal debate, he decides to lie to Mazzy, telling her that he’s a seasoned drummer.
