Lyric and Beat

Lyric (Andrea Brillantes), a bubbly and aspiring singer, is willing to do everything to fulfill her dream despite her father's (Lito Pimentel) constant objections. Having seen her potential and being offered a scholarship, Lyric finally enters the fictional Philippine National Conservatory of Music where she would meet Beat (Seth Fedelin), a soft-spoken singer and dancer. It is from there that students will compete against each other for the privilege to represent the school in the National Music Competition, a well-renowned school-based competition for music, that will test different friendships and their competitive spirit.
