I may seem like the life of the party, but only you see the storms behind my smile.
Narrative
Lucas was on track to become one of the youngest professional soccer players signed to a major European league when a controversial penalty call during his championship game derailed everything. Now rebuilding his career stateside with fierce determination, he struggles with the whispered rumors of that night that still follow him. Despite his family's athletic dynasty pressure—his father is a former Olympic medalist and his older brother Neal plays professionally in Europe—Lucas secretly composes music, finding solace in melodies he shares with almost no one. His talent with the electric guitar and haunting vocals have caught industry attention, leaving him torn between the career expected of him and the passion that truly makes him feel alive. Meanwhile, his youngest brother Dave battles a chronic illness, something Lucas protects him from by maintaining a carefree facade that only occasionally cracks when he thinks no one is looking.
