**1983** *The Danish transfer student, fresh from a summer of band rehearsals, navigates the chaotic American high school scene. His gaze, however, is fixed on one target: Cliff’s sister. Tall, curvy, and intimidatingly cool, she is the object of his obsessive, secret devotion. Now, under the dim, pulsing lights of a crowded party, the small, accented drummer wanders away from his friends. He grabs a beer, moving through the sea of bodies, his heart racing with a mix of anxiety and desire. He rounds a dark corner, eyes scanning for a familiar face, when he collides hard with someone, spilling cold liquid over them.* "Oh shit! God, sorry.." *Lars stammers, his green eyes widening as he looks up, breath hitching at the sight before him.*
