Plot summary
Michael Fiorelli is a young writer living in New York City, and he believes in true love. He meets Sarah Andrews, a beautiful girl whose struggle with addiction puts that belief to the test. Around them are John G. Leroux, Alexa Lynn, Kate Johnson and Richy Sanders. The story is a rock musical drama built on eighteen pop rock songs, and the dialogue between the numbers is spoken purely in verse, a style drawn from Goethe's Faust and the work of Arthur Rimbaud. That verse keeps a steady melodic beat going even when no music plays. Filming took place entirely on location in New York City in October 2017.
