One Hit Wonder
A high school history teacher rediscovers his long-lost fame as the anonymous voice behind a 90s hit song, leading him on an unexpected journey of self-discovery, redemption, and rekindling past dreams while balancing newfound fame with the complications of real life.
In the present day, an inebriated Pete gets pushed on stage at a bar to sing karaoke, choosing to sing "Life Without You". His performance gets posted on TikTok and goes viral, causing people to speculate if he is the original singer. This causes disruptions at school where he teaches. Meanwhile, Pete starts dating Heather, a single mom whose son Gary is one of his students.
Terry, the band's namesake, sees the TikTok video and convinces the record company to let them perform Pete's songs again if he rejoins the band for a comeback tour. Pete reluctantly agrees but quits after their disastrous first gig at a frat house party. He realizes he's happy as a teacher.
Concurrently, Gary sabotages Pete's relationship with Heather in a misguided attempt to get his divorced parents back together. When his plan backfires, a remorseful Gary arranges for Pete to perform a song he wrote about Heather at the same bar. A record exec from their old label is impressed and offers Pete a solo contract.
The screenplay ends with Pete back in the recording studio with his former bandmates (on his terms), while Heather and Gary proudly watch. The story is about resilience, second chances, and finding happiness on your own terms.
