In 2001 when boy bands rule and pop culture chases the next shiny thing, two college dropouts start a garage band.

 

But what if their connection is more than music?

When Carla runs into Pete, the mysterious French kid on Long Island, a secret connection sparks between them where they talk vinyl, and life beyond the ‘burbs. Pete's girlfriend grows suspicious while Carla's mother shames her. Before embarking on their cross-country dive bar tour, tragedy strikes forcing them to decide if the band is just a teenage dream, or the gateway to freedom… and perhaps to each other?

 

Lost on Long Island is a coming-of-age tale with analog roots grounded in ‘90s and early-aughts pop culture. It’s High Fidelity meets Normal People for the dial-up era, exploring the tension in more-than-friendships, the chaos of growing up, the family dysfunction we run from, and the playlists that get us through it all.
