Active ✔ PDFA nostalgic but stubborn father revives his disbanded high school band by dragging along his equally unpracticed friends into music again. While they clumsily work towards their open mic show, they find not only their rhythm, but themselves in ways that they never knew.
Episode Synopsis
Decades after giving a terrible performance in high school, a sentimental and determined Jim decides to bring back his band. Unskilled though he may be, he manages to persuade his reluctant bandmates, Dave, Miguel, and Kevin, who now find themselves tied down with work, family, and responsibility. What started off as a joke soon becomes a reality when Jim suggests performing at an open mic in two weeks' time. Their practice sessions are disorderly and full of rusty performances, off-key notes, and personality clashes. Kevin demands professionalism, Dave doubts their ability, and Miguel fumbles around, but Jim keeps the dream alive, declaring that the band is not only about making music; it is about reconnecting with their lost selves.
