It's 2001. MTV stopped playing music videos. Boy bands and thongs are pop culture. And two college dropouts start a garage band.
When former classmates Carla and Pete run into each other, they learn that they're both looking for something beyond a suburban existence. Despite discovering comically conflicting tastes, they bond over vinyl-the meaning of those songs, the covers of those albums that make them who they are today-forging a secret connection that cuts deeper than the music. Before their greasy dive-bar cross-country tour, tragedy turns their world upside down, forcing them to decide if the band is just a teenage dream or a gateway to freedom... and maybe each other?
First in the series, Slanted and Disenchanted is an early-2000s coming-of-age story told in dual he-said/she-said POV with pop culture jabs and rock-nerd winks. Think High Fidelity meets Normal People, unraveling sexual tension in friendships, the chaos of adulting, family dysfunction, and the records that get us through it all.
