✦ Synopsis

Overview: It's 1985 and twenty-five year old singer/songwriter Alexander Drake is riding the rock charts. He has fame, fortune, looks, and talent. He also has Vivian Martin, his manager, who rescued him from the streets when he was homeless at seventeen. As leader of The Alex Drake Band, Alexander calls the shots onstage, but off stage it is Vivian who controls the other aspects of his life. As his surrogate mother, Vivian has cared for and protected him as his own mother never did, but his past will come to haunt him, and Vivian will be unable to protect him from the truths he must learn. When Alexander receives an urgent phone call from his sister in South Carolina, his life is going to change forever. Against Vivian's wishes, he must return to the place he vowed never to go again: home.
