What happens when you take a street-smart teenage musician, throw her into a high-stakes chase across Memphis, imprison her in a castle, and launch her into the depths of space? You get Band on the Run, a groundbreaking Young Adult epic where music ignites rebellion, freedom is forged in high orbit, and one girl’s voice becomes a revolution.

Written by entertainment industry veteran Norm Levy, who has worked on major motion pictures at Grumman Studios and across TV, film, and music, Band on the Run is a pulse-pounding blend of heart, grit, and rhythm, from the backstreets of Memphis to the stars above.

At its heart is sixteen-year-old Jenny Brown, a fearless, street-smart musician fighting to survive and to reach her lost little brother, Dak. With her band of runaways, she invents a raw, soul-charged sound called Blues-Bop, turning survival into art and street corners into stages. But when the city enforces a new Salvation Law that sweeps homeless kids off the streets, Jenny and her band are captured and shipped to H.O.M.E. (High Orbit Manufacturing Enterprise), where they are indentured to a billionaire whose dream of building the future hides a ruthless quest to become the world’s first trillionaire, mining asteroids for rare metals.

Armed with nothing but their music, courage, and defiance, Jenny and her crew transform their songs into a spark of rebellion that could unite the counter-rotating habitats of H.O.M.E., upend the system, and change the fate of humanity itself.

More than a story, Band on the Run is the spark—a cultural catalyst meant to inspire a new generation to look beyond Earth, break free from gravity’s hold, and imagine a future where millions, even billions, could one day live, work, and thrive beyond our thin biosphere. Inspired by the visionary ideas of physicist Gerard K. O’Neill, it pays homage to his stellar blueprint for humanity’s expansion into space—self-sustaining worlds powered by innovation, industry, and imagination—and carries forward his boundless vision of expanding ever outward into the stars to secure humanity’s place in the universe.

Blending relentless action, raw emotion, and an original twelve-song soundtrack, Band on the Run is where The Hunger Games meets A Star Is Born in zero-gravity, a world of rebellion, rhythm, and the fight for freedom among the stars. It’s a franchise-ready adventure destined for the page, screen, stage, and even the amusement park—complete with zero-G games, thrilling challenges, and gravity-defying concerts, driven by revolutionary spirit and a voice that refuses to fade.

The stakes are astronomical.
The rhythm is unstoppable.
And the fight for freedom? It has only just begun.

Are you ready to run? 🚀🎸
