Aleka is a poet-philosopher. The Attic is a meeting place where he lives and he has a secret society. They come and visit him and read his works.

And they express it through music and form a band. We've put it in a fairy-tale setting.

You begged me to stay. You stood over me and you made a promise to me, as sacred as any vow.
~ Gayle Forman
