Development Pitch
Sixteen-year-old Cady Lozano pretends to be an ordinary high-school girl. Her father Phil is a politician who's running for Governor of Texas. With her parents distracted with Phil's campaign, Cady is free to live her secret life dealing ecstasy to ravers to fund her dream of becoming a famous DJ. One night Cady's friend Lilu pushes her onto Josh, a local DJ in the business, to help her get a leg up on her career. Cady and Josh forge a musical partnership that quickly turns into an unlikely bond. Their friendship is pushed to the limit as they confront their age gap, their moral ambiguities, and a sex scandal in which Phil got involved.
