David and Layla have just started eighth grade and Hombres G is their favourite band: they really like them. They also like each other a lot, but because David’s friends give him such bad advice, all the things he does to win her over always end up being a failure. In spite of everything, the two become inseparable and get into bigger and bigger trouble, and even sometimes, when they are together, the urge to sing and dance to the songs of their favourite group is so strong that they start doing it in the middle of the street. And that’s because they’re having fun. A lot of fun.
