PV & FRANNY

A girl with a glockenspiel. A boy with a guitar. A high school full of weirdos, mascots who may or may not be unhinged, and a mystery that isn’t what anyone thinks it is.

A dead-serious love story… that refuses to behave like one.

One flier turns into a band. One band turns into obsession. And before they ever play a real set, everything is already ridiculous.

ACT TWO

If Act One is about starting a band, Act Two is about what happens when everything immediately gets in the way.

Franny does what any rational person would do.

He writes a love song.

Which would be fine… except for the rule.

No romance. Ever.

And PV means it.

What follows is a series of perfectly logical decisions that somehow make everything worse.

A love song that says too much.

A date that shouldn’t exist.

A plan to fix things that only complicates them further.

Because if PV won’t date a bandmate, there’s only one solution:

Make the competition part of the band.

Which works.

Until it doesn’t.

As alliances shift, rules get enforced, and Franny finds himself deeper in a situation he cannot control, the band becomes something else entirely.

Not just music.

Not just friendship.

Something closer to a test.

Of loyalty. Of identity. Of whether you can separate what you create from how you feel.

And in the middle of it all, the stakes quietly expand.

A school competition that suddenly matters.

A partnership that feels more intense than anything either of them expected.

And a realization that success might not look the way they imagined it.

Act Two is where the band takes shape, the lines get blurred, and the consequences of those rules start to land.

Because sometimes the only thing more complicated than love…

…is trying to avoid it.
