15 yr. old Elise is a precocious loner who feels like a
total failure. After a summer of trying to reinvent herself, buying the “right”
clothes, creating a new “style” and being ridiculed by the cruel social leaders
in her school she tries to take her life. Before she slices her wrists, she
makes a definitive play list. If there is one thing she is passionate about it
is music. It takes a long time to create a list. She calls a classmate who
alerts the authorities. Her parents are divorced and she shuffles between her
dad, a musician in a one hit band, and her mother, who has a new husband and
children. One night she takes a late walk and meets a couple of girls who
change her life. They take her to an underground night club and introduce her
to the popular buy enigmatic DJ, Char. She loves the music and the way the DJ
controls the dance floor. Before you know it, Elise has found a secret
identity. Loser student by day, apprentice DJ on Thursday nights. It takes
ingenuity to convince her father to change his custody nights so that she can
easily get to the nightclub, but how long will her sneak out routine work? Char
teaches her more than how to spin a record at his sad little apartment. After
their common friend, Pippa leaves town, Char makes the move on the much younger,
socially inept girl. A fresh plot by an author who knows her music.
