Toby and his best friend Zach are Lucky Twenty, a Beatles - cover band hoping to make it big. But Zach is convinced Toby will never be a believable vocalist because he's never kissed a girl (how can he sing about love if he's never felt it?). Thus starts Toby's quest to find his mojo and get kissed. But Toby's life takes a turn for the odd when he opens an old bass guitar and finds a note inside which reads: If you find this note, the bass has been stolen. Could a mysterious girl in a blue sweater be the key to helping Toby find his mojo and track down the bass' real owner?
