Growing up in a dead-end, Thames Valley town like Marden Combe, Kai knows there's no escape without a lot of talent, hard work-and luck. Two weeks before the Clayton Paul Blues Band plans to set out on tour to Germany, their singer quits, and drummer Kai takes matters in hand. With bandmates Jake and Jamie, they recruit a talented new singer-the enigmatic Dominique-as the new face of the band and set out on the road to Berlin in a rickety white van. Dogged by mishaps and under-rehearsed, the band stumbles through their first shows, zig-zagging between chaos and brilliance. But as the first gig in Berlin draws near, the band begins to gel. They're clicking with their audience, and even the stone-hearted Kai starts to crumble under the spell, first of Dom and Lars. As the end of the tour approaches, Kai must make hard choices. Dom? But she's keeping a dark secret. Lars? Not after the acrimony of their last parting. The band? Or will that dream crumble too?
