Brandon and Abel, two very different guys, met in an online fanfiction group devoted to their favorite sci-fi TV show, Castaway Planet. During a weekend adventure that changes everything, the guys-along with Brandon's best friend and nerd skeptic, Bec-hit the road in an RV to attend a fan convention for Cast- away Planet. Along the way, Brandon and Abel uncover secrets about each other, spar with an online community of fanfiction writers, meet their TV idols, and maybe possibly fall in love. But as Brandon's conservative upbringing and Abel's painful romantic past conspire to keep them apart, the two have to find a way to repair their own hearts-and each other's.
"The Bad Kids is so excited to continue working to disrupt how commercial shows get produced. After our very successful preview listening party of the album, we knew the next step was to get the music out to everyone. The show is resonating with a lot of theatre goers of all ages and I hope more people discover and enjoy. And I hope everyone gets curious about the show's next steps and The Bad Kids. This is only the beginning!" The Bad Kids, Marc Erdahi
