Dex has made it. He’s a rock star, adored by his fans for his integrity and by his record company for his phenomenal sales. Jay, a music journalist with a talent for spotting bullshit, is not so impressed. When they meet and fall in love, they are both taken by surprise. Jay soon gets used to Dex’s occasional disappearances, his violent arguments with other band members, his bouts of depression.

When Dex disappears once more, she’s not particularly concerned. But as the days turn into weeks, she realizes she may never see him again. The weeks turn into months, and Jay can go no further with her grief. Dex becomes an uncomfortable memory — the ex–boyfriend she can’t mention to her jealous new lover. Then Jay hears rumors that Dex has been spotted, and she finds herself drawn inexorably back into the dark heart of his world.
