LOGLINE
Music manager discovers a young talent who teaches him that family is more important than success and fame.
SYNOPSIS
Dissatisfied music exec Buzz takes a chance and strikes out on his own in search for fulfillment, success and the next big thing. He risks everything on Luka, a young YouTuber from Idaho. Buzz slips into a father figure role with Luka and convinces him, and his best friend/songwriter Katie, to go to LA in pursuit of fame.
But in a surprising twist, it’s Katie who becomes an overnight star when her song accidentally goes viral on YouTube. This forces Buzz into a moral dilemma. And when Buzz decides to promote Katie’s career instead, Luka is left alone and heartbroken.
Katie refuses to work with Buzz until he makes things right with Luka. Will Buzz be able to prove he’s learned that family is more important than success before he loses everything?
