And this is where their story begins.

In the aftermath of the explosion, the music industry continues in its soul-crushing vortex of creating superstars and spinning lies into truth.

One man knows the truth about the biggest name-the biggest monster-in entertainment. And Jameson has left him nothing to lose.
