Sound Check, Setlists & Second Chances

The Beantown Bastards didn't mean to go viral. They also didn't mean to become the internet's new obsession-the kind that demands access, invents stories, and punishes anyone who won't perform on command.
So the band runs to Dalton, Maine: a small town with strong coffee, stronger boundaries, and a community that treats privacy like a civic duty.
Jack Harrigan is the frontman everyone thinks they know-charming, talented, and one bad day away from cracking under the weight of being watched. He came to Dalton to hide, regroup, and keep his band afloat.
Eli Bishop doesn't care about celebrity. He cares about clean audio, clear rules, and doing his job right. As Dalton's steady sound tech, Eli spots problems before they turn into disasters-and Jack is a problem he can't stop noticing.
Between setlist wars, cabin rules, a town that adopts people whether they asked or not, and the slow realization that being seen is not the same as being consumed, Jack and Eli find a second chance that doesn't require either of them to pretend.
A laugh-out-loud M/M romantic comedy with found family, band chaos, and a soft landing you can actually trust.
