The Spotlight Boy band The Wonderland come second in the biggest music show on TV, but judge Sasha Small decides to sign the winners – a girl band called Girls Here First – instead of them. Feeling disillusioned, the boys have to find the inspiration to carry on – not easy when Nathaniel’s mum wants him to focus on his school work instead of his music, and confiscates his guitar. The boys meet Chloe, a vlogger who will prove instrumental in ensuring they don’t give up on their dreams. |
