Synopsis

TURN UP THE VOLUME is a live action drama series about a group of young female and gender non conforming teenagers attending a weekly music camp, who decide to form a band. Disconnected, disaffected and desperately looking for their tribe, these teenagers from all walks of life find that, via the transformative, uplifting power of music and friendship, they can unite together to define themselves on their own terms.
