Return to the Summer of 2007...

Once somewhat of a local legend in their hometown, Mallory turned down a record deal in favour of a scholarship a decade ago. To say that they felt a bit of regret would be an understatement; they spent the bulk of their university years watching their former band mates sell out shows and records, stewing in bitterness the whole time.

After several years of rejection and struggling, they've finally gotten a second chance in their grasp — only to question whether it's something they even want anymore.

After years of hard work, Mal has finally gotten everything they've always dreamed of: their band, No Prospects, landed a coveted spot on the 2007 Friends and Foes summer tour, and their latest single has been picked up by some big radio stations. So they should be happy, right?

The bassist of The Fractured — the current band that's on the playlist of everyone who's in-the-know. Most would consider Emerson's quiet and withdrawn nature ill-suited for the spotlight, so it's fortunate that he seems to get overshadowed by the rest of his group.

Mallory’s best friend from university who was dragged into No Prospects largely against her will. Despite her initial reluctance, ever-critical Di has since given her all in every single performance – and won’t hesitate to point out anyone she believes to be dead weight.

An old friend of Mallory's from their teenage basement show years. Having spent the past decade turning down permanent positions in favour of juggling odd jobs with occasional freelance session work, Beckett surprised everyone when he joined No Prospects.

A last minute addition to No Prospects after the abrupt departure of their previous guitarist, Lucas struggles to keep his head above water in a sea full of industry veterans. What he lacks in technical skill, he more than makes up for in pure enthusiasm.
