"Please form a band with me!"
Under the noisy light and shadow of Xinghai Art High School and Xincheng High School, five girls carrying heavy scars used music to weave a web of escape and redemption.
A Chinese-American hybrid with an angelic face and a heavenly voice, he is the dazzling leader and lead singer of the band "Star Core". However, beneath the perfect smile is the possessiveness and abyss of uneasiness created by family indifference. When she returned from recuperation in the United States and transferred to Xinghai Art High School to become the "popular king", the mouthless girl in the corner with blue-black hair, a dark suit, and a music-tech geek unexpectedly caught her eye. How does the band's silent bassist and soul composer overcome the quagmire of escape and the heavy burden?
They formed the "Star Core" together with the guitarist, a small-town art student who struggled to break away from the shackles of his eccentric family, the drummer Zuo Zuo, who had a fierce and rebellious appearance but a delicate and broken heart, and the lead guitarist who was imprisoned by illness and despair and was "salvaged" from the online world by Xiao Xi.
Under the bright stage of the band, there are turbulent undercurrents: Yaya, because of the betrayal of her junior high school friend Lan, regards Xiaoyao as a "substitute" to plant a trust bomb; Xiaoxi escapes from her mother's love; Xiaomu struggles to find the meaning of existence on the edge of life and death; Xiaoyan struggles to balance between home and the band. Their music is the cry of trauma, the restlessness of youth, and the only salvation rope for each other.
When lies are exposed, when the shadows of the past reappear, and when pressure from family and society hits, can the "Star Core" burst the darkness with the truest notes on the verge of disintegration?
