## Synopsis

FORMAT & STYLE (binding): A feature-quality 3D-animated family musical comedy in the warm, polished house style of Pixar / Illumination — soft global illumination, expressive stylised character designs, saturated storybook palette, theatrical stage lighting. NOT live action. Every character is animated (no photoreal humans). Heartfelt, funny, uplifting, all-ages. Visual anchor: the existing Off-Key Heroes key art — the boy Leo, his golden retriever Duke mid-howl, the ragtag kid band on a glowing concert stage strung with floating music notes. Protagonist is Leo (locked).

STORY:
Leo sits cross-legged on his bedroom floor under the harsh spill of a single desk lamp, strumming a battered acoustic guitar while his voice wobbles through a half-remembered pop song. His golden retriever, Duke, lifts his muzzle and lets out a long, surprisingly tuneful howl that locks onto the melody. Leo stops, stares, then hits record on his phone without thinking. The clip is only twenty seconds long.

The next morning the video has already slipped past his small circle of classmates and begun to spread. Leo's best friend Max barges into the kitchen waving his own phone, crowing that they have to enter the national "Family Harmony" talent competition. Leo's little sister Sophie watches from the doorway, clutching her math notebook, her eyes bright but her shoulders already curling inward at the idea of performing. Their mother, exhausted from double shifts, tells them it's a nice dream and nothing more.

Leo's mother works nights at the hospital, so the house stays quiet except for Sophie's quiet piano practice and Leo's reluctant rehearsals with Duke. Max pushes the group to post another clip, this time with all of them visible. Sophie refuses to stand in front of the camera until Leo promises she can stay behind the piano. The second video performs even better. By the end of the week the family receives an official invitation to the regional semifinals in Chicago.

They need a fourth member. Max suggests the retired Broadway singer who lives alone at the end of their block. Eleanor Voss answers the door in a faded silk robe, her once-famous voice now a raspy whisper after a botched vocal surgery years earlier. She listens to their pitch, then shuts the door without a word. That night Leo slips a note under her door asking only for advice. Two days later she appears at their garage practice, sits at the old upright, and begins to hum the harmony line in her damaged but still precise pitch. Sophie's stage fright eases when Eleanor quietly coaches her breathing; Leo's shyness recedes when Eleanor tells him the camera only cares about whether he means the notes.

At regionals the family places second on charm alone, advancing to nationals in New York. Eleanor's ex-husband, a former producer, leaks an old recording of her healthy voice to the press, framing the current performances as a pity play. The story detonates online. Eleanor withdraws, refusing to travel, convinced she is now an object of mockery. Leo finds her sitting in the dark theater where she once starred, surrounded by empty seats. He plays their latest rehearsal tape on his phone; Duke's howl cuts through the tinny speakers. Eleanor's eyes close. She agrees to come, but only if she never has to sing lead.

In the cavernous final studio the lights are colder and the audience larger than any of them expected. Sophie freezes at the sight of the live cameras. Max's overconfident patter collapses into visible panic. Leo's guitar strap slips twice before he can even start. Eleanor stands just offstage, silent. When the host calls them, Duke trots onstage first, sits, and waits. Leo begins the song they rehearsed. Halfway through, Sophie's hands hover above the keys without touching them. Eleanor steps forward, places one hand on Sophie's shoulder, and begins to hum the harmony in her broken whisper. The sound is small yet perfectly locked to Leo's voice. Duke adds his howl on cue. The audience leans in. By the final chorus Sophie's fingers find the keys. The four voices — cracked, untrained, hesitant, and once-glorious — hold together for eight bars. They do not win first place. They finish third.

After the lights dim, the family walks out of the stage door into the New York night. Eleanor keeps pace beside them instead of heading for her car. Leo checks his phone. The new clip, recorded by a stranger in the audience, is already climbing. He pockets the device without watching it again. Duke trots ahead, tail high, as if he knows the route home.
