Can technology secretly influence your thoughts? When Alma and Tim help their friend Joan with the class representative election, everything seems simple... until a popular music app takes over the school. Students suddenly start acting strangely, friendships shift and Joan becomes unexpectedly unpopular. As Tim realises how the app is changing his feelings, things begin to make sense, and Alma steps in. But will she arrive in time to save the election?
