Gettin' the Band Back Together follows Mitch Papadopolous, who always dreamed about being the next Bon Jovi. However, he chose security over stardom and left those daydreams behind for a day job. For a while he thought he had everything — the high-paying job, the high-rise apartment — until his 40th birthday when he got handed a pink slip and had to move back in with his mom in Sayreville, New Jersey. When his high school arch nemesis threatens to foreclose on their house, this big-shot banker must save his small-town home the only way he can…by winning the Battle of the Bands. So he dusts off his guitar, gathers his old gang, and sets out to win the battle — and maybe even win back the high school sweetheart he left behind — proving it's never too late to give your dreams one last shot.
