In 2001 when boy bands and thongs have taken over the culture, two college dropouts form a garage band. But what if their connection runs deeper than music?
When Carla runs into Pete, the mysterious French kid on Long Island, a secret connection sparks between them where they talk vinyl and life beyond the 'burbs. Pete's girlfriend grows suspicious, and Carla's mother shames her. Before embarking on a dive bar tour with their band, tragedy strikes forcing them to decide if the band is just a teenage dream, or the gateway to freedom... and to each other?
Slanted and Disenchanted is a Xennial coming-of-age story packed with pop culture jabs and rock-nerd heart. High Fidelity meets Normal People for the dial-up generation-unraveling sexual tension in friendships, the chaos of growing up, family dysfunction, and the playlists that get us through it all.
