One night of static. Two lives shattered. Six years of silence. One shared melody.
Six years ago, SOUNDSCAPE was the heartbeat of South Korea. But a tragic accident on one of the final stops of their US tour took more than just the band's charismatic leader, Woo-Sung Jeon; it took the soul of his fraternal twin, Woo-Yeong. Now, the "Masters of Sound" are a ghost of the past, and Woo-Yeong is a man drowning in survivor's guilt-a guitarist who has forgotten how to play.
In the heart of Seoul, Mavis Wintergarden carries her own silence. A Nashville native who moved to Korea to chase a dream that died the same day Woo-Sung did, Mavis is a songwriting prodigy hiding behind the pen name "Nabi." She works the tables at the Sunset Stage café, nursing a hearing impairment from the same drunk-driving accident that claimed her beloved older brother, Travis.
When SOUNDSCAPE's manager, Robbie Yoon, offers Mavis a chance to write the comeback tracks that could save the band from contract cancellation, she thinks she's finally meeting her childhood idol. Instead, she finds a cynical, unkempt shell of a man who calls her talent "overrated."
But Mavis isn't the timid fan he remembers from years ago.
With one sharp lash of her tongue-calling him a "Washed-Up Idol"-she shatters his apathy and sparks a war of pride that Echo Entertainment isn't prepared for.
As the "Songbird" and the "Fallen Star" are forced into a reluctant collaboration, they realize their tragedies weren't a coincidence. They were the first notes of a song six years in the making.
In the high-stakes world of K-Pop, the butterfly effect of a single melody can change everything. But can two broken souls find the rhythm to heal, or will the weight of the past pull them into the dark forever?
