What can be inferred about the storyline from the trailer?
Buster has set his sights on unveiling a bigger and grander show at the Crystal Tower Theater, and the new trailer offers many more exciting songs and the overall plot of the drama to come.
The only problem is that his band is still largely unknown, so in a desperate attempt to generate attention, they pretend that the show will star Clay Calloway, a once-famous musician who has since walled himself away after the death of his wife. It will be up to the team to persuade Clay to return to the spotlight and put on a show that will be remembered forever.
