   Summary

   90s pop band AU - touted to be the "Next Big Thing" - new pop band "Rivalry" have been manufactured to be the public's perfect boyband - Ilya (the bad boy) and Shane (much to his frustration typecast as the sweet one) meet at the first casting call. Through photoshoots, choreography camp and then a cross world tour, they fall in love but have to hide it from their bandmates, over-invested management and legions of screaming fans.
