The Electric Heart Festival announces a contest: the opening slot will be given to an unknown producer. The winner gets a record deal and performs their song live with a mystery guest. Veronica forces Lola to submit “Beat of My Heart” under Brielle and Brynne’s name.
Split screen. On one side, pop superstar JAXON VEGA (19, charming but overexposed) records a bland TikTok. On the other, our heroine LOLA SANTOS (17) sits in a closet-turned-studio, mashing up his vocals into a viral remix. She uploads it under the ghost producer name “echo.” Within hours, Jaxon’s label demands to know who echo is.
The twins are announced as finalists. Lola is devastated but secretly thrilled—her song will be heard. She agrees to DJ from the wings while they fake-sing. Meanwhile, she and DJ B-Side (Jaxon) plan to meet at the festival. She tells him, “Look for the girl in the silver mask who’s not pretending.”
Brielle and Brynne attempt to start a podcast called “The Real Twins” but have zero downloads. Veronica is seen working at a juice bar, bitterly blending kale. another cinderella story 4
Veronica and the twins are booed offstage. The label offers Lola a contract—but only if she stays a ghost producer. She refuses, saying, “I’d rather be a nobody who’s real than a somebody who’s fake.” Jaxon quits his label on livestream. Together, they start their own indie label called Echo Heart .
Jaxon, under his anonymous blog alias DJ B-Side , discovers echo’s new track. He posts a rave review, calling it “the most honest song of the year.” Lola and Jaxon begin messaging on a private forum. They bond over feeling like holograms of themselves—her invisible, him too visible. She has no idea he’s Jaxon Vega. He has no idea she’s a nobody.
Jaxon, tired of his glossy image, sneaks out of his label’s gala to attend the festival incognito (hoodie, cap, no entourage). He wanders into the soundcheck tent just as Lola is fixing the twins’ levels. He hears her humming a counter-melody. Something clicks. He asks, “Are you echo?” She panics and runs, dropping her USB bracelet (the signature “glass slipper” of the film—it holds all her unreleased tracks).

Lola’s life is a rhythm of servitude—fetching coffee for Veronica, editing Brielle and Brynne’s vocal-less tracks, and dodging high school. She only comes alive at night when she produces music as echo. Her latest track, “Beat of My Heart,” is a confessional about wanting to be seen.
Final scene: Lola, Jaxon, and Cassie are in the closet-studio, recording their first collaborative track. Lola laughs, looks at the USB bracelet now hanging around Jaxon’s neck, and says, “Ready for another take?” He grins. “I thought you’d never ask.”
Another Cinderella Story 4: Beat of My Heart Split screen
The twins perform “Beat of My Heart” with Lola hidden behind the decks. The crowd is meh. Then Jaxon, who has figured out the truth, sends a signal to Lola’s earpiece: “Stop hiding. Drop the mask.” Lola looks up, sees him smiling from the crowd. In a burst of courage, she triggers a live mashup—her own raw vocals, no autotune, mixed live. She steps out from the shadows, removes her silver mask, and sings the bridge herself. The crowd goes electric. Veronica and the twins are left sputtering.
Lola performs the final chorus live, stripped down to just a piano loop and her voice. Jaxon joins her on a second verse they wrote together over their anonymous messages. They kiss mid-song as the beat drops.
