Set in 2006, it follows 16-year-old George, a passionate musician who feels invisible—until a new student, Max, the son of a famous musical duo, arrives and takes an interest in him. As they grow closer, George faces the challenge of understanding his true desires, presenting a potential dream come true.
Bonus Track premiered in the UK this past summer and is set to release in the U.S. on October 11.
