A slow burn gay romance set in the decadent world of 1980s pop culture.
DARON is a young guitar player with a dream: to make it big like the guys he grew up idolizing-or at least to escape his homophobic family in new Jersey. He makes it to music school in Rhode Island, and the rock clubs of Boston beckon. But in 1986, in the era of AIDS, MTV, and "Just Say No" it's hard to succeed from the closet., especially when your lead singer is hell-bent on being outrageous.
ZIGGY is an art-school dropout who knows he's destined for something bigger and better in life. He craves the spotlight, and he doesn't care how many hearts he has to break to get to the top. When he sees Daron playing guitar one day, he thinks he's found his ticket to stardom.
He's right.
