An early 2000s novel back when lost was the new found.

Los Angeles, 2004. At the dawn of social media, Carla and Pete embark on a quest for the perfect soundtrack to their lives. They soon find it takes more than a killer vinyl collection to survive in a city that doesn’t give AF.

They came for their band, only to find themselves sidelined by life's demands while feeling weighed down by emotional limitations. Carla experiences the true meaning of monotony as a TV extra, while Pete, wrestling with societal views on bisexuality, answers phones. Despite their mutual affection, Carla feels rejected, while Pete, secretly grappling with his identity, shies away from intimacy. Their world, filled with vinyl records and used books offers fleeting moments of connection. But the arrival of a charismatic stranger disrupts their fragile status quo, forcing them to confront faded ambitions and the true nature of their relationship while wondering if growing up means growing apart.

Somewhere in Hollywood spins High Fidelity with a queer twist, delivering the pop culture eye of the early-2000s, the spirit of indie culture, and the lyrical longing that comes from finding yourself.
