In the middle of a show, musical duo Rob & Lou are suddenly handed a chilling written message: "Stop the show or we will kill you."

Featuring original songs and set against the gritty backdrop of late-80s/early-90s Los Angeles, the action follows the personal relationship between Robbie, Latino from LA, and Louis from the rural American midwest. Alongside Robbie’s resiliently kind-hearted sister Luna and sardonic cousin Felipe, the audience sees them through early songwriting sessions, tragic loss and big breaks all culminating into one moment where they must ask themselves: Should we play the next song?

Where does the line exist between outsiders and community? How significant is the difference between naivety and deserved guilt? "Fools" asks these questions and more as secrets between Robbie and Louis come to light and the origins of the death threat are realized.
