| Description |
John was once the frontman in one of the world's biggest bands, Riflemind. Now John and his wife Lynn are safe from the world in their walled county house. Money and anonymity, however, won't protect them from themselves or their past.
Fame and its attendant luxuries are addictive. Addictions almost ruined both their lives. Well away from that life they are now safe. Unhappy, silent, fragile, but safe.
Until the pressure of a comeback tour bears down upon John. And the band simply cannot work without him. Crunch time. A weekend of music-making is planned at John and Lynn's estate. |
