Description

Thunderbowl, la banda de Jeremy, está de moda y han conseguido su primera gran oportunidad: una serie de presentaciones en un bar local. El problema es que, aunque Jeremy debería estar al día con sus trabajos escolares, pasa casi todas las noches en el escandaloso club tratando de mantener a la banda unida. Equilibrar los sueños de éxito con las realidades de la industria musical obligará a Jeremy a tomar decisiones muy difíciles.

Disponible en inglés: Thunderbowl.
