It’s a Friday night in a campus bar in Berkeley and Percy Marks is pontificating about music again. Hall and Oates is on the jukebox and Percy can’t stop herself from overanalyzing the song, indulging what she knows to be her most annoying habit. But something is different tonight. The guy beside her at the bar, Joe Morrow, is a songwriter. And he could listen to Percy talk all night. Joe asks Percy for feedback on one of his songs --- and the results kick off a partnership that will span years, ignite new passions in them both and set Joe on a path to indie-rock stardom. But it also bruises Joe’s ego and traps Percy in a role she resents. How long can Percy ignore the roars of her heart and of her own unique talent, to protect their thrilling collaboration?
