Overview
In the 1970’s, Freddie was the lead guitarist for one of the top local rock bands in Cleveland, Ohio, The Electric Razors. Freddie pledged allegiance to rock and roll and couldn’t bear to hear even a second of any other kind of music. As the Electric Razors were on the cusp of breaking into the big time, Freddie’s ego and need to be in the spotlight tore everything apart. Things between Freddie and his band came to a boiling point when the Electric Razors were given the chance to have their song used in a local radio commercial. During a heated argument over the radio commercial, Freddie announced he was quitting the band, only days before they were to record their major label debut. The Electric Razors went on to become one of the defining bands of the 1970’s. Fred Black is now one of the most successful advertising executives in the entire Midwest; nobody is better at finding the perfect song for a client’s commercial, but Jalen and his best friend Dave pulled a serious prank on Freddie which resulted in a less father-son relationship. One day, an Apple brand executive named Janet White hires Fred to create a revolutionary ad campaign for Apple’s newest product: The iBrain. After a few strategy meetings, an undeniable flirtation starts to develop between the notorious-bachelor Fred and the seemingly too-good-to-be-true Janet. Within 3 months of meeting each other, Fred knows he’s found the one and he proposes to Janet. She hesitates, telling Fred she’s got a bombshell to drop on him. She wants to marry him. But first, Fred’s got to meet her son. And get his approval. For the first few weeks of their relationship, Jalen does everything he can to sabotage Fred’s relationship with his mom. But Fred has had enough. He heads down to the garage to tell Jalen to back off, when he finally gets a sample of what Jalen’s been working on. Immediately, Fred takes to this new music called DubStep… Over the next few weeks, Fred and Jalen bond while creating fresh new DubStep compositions together. During their bonding time, Jalen lets two things slip: One, he has a crush on a girl at school. Two, there is an upcoming DubStep competition he wants to attend but can’t afford a ticket to.
