Orion Taylor is sixteen and ready to rock. Unfortunately, his older brother Del has flunked out of college and is back home, making Ori’s life miserable. When a girl enters the picture and Ori moves closer to his dream of rock stardom, Del can’t handle it. Will Orion stand up to the brother he’s always idolized, even if it means they may never truly be brothers again?
