Three misfit performing arts students. One unforgettable summer on tour. A graphic novel about chasing your dreams, navigating drama, and finding your voice. Spending an entire summer on tour as a backup singer for pop star Nika Nitro? What?! That's the DREAM, right? Especially for Jenni, Lauren, and Maggie, three performing arts students with hopes of making it big in the music world. But being twenty feet from fame isn't easy. Between crushes, constant rehearsals, Nika's sky-high expectations, and their own insecurities, this dream is starting to feel more like a nightmare. And that's before they accidentally start a beef with a rival band threatening to reveal a secret that could end Nika's career. Can this trio of new friends come together to save the tour, or will The Backups be kept out of the spotlight forever?
