Screaming fans. Blinding stage lights. A multitude of camera flashes.
It's all you've ever wanted. It's all you've ever worked for.
So where did you go wrong?
You were always told you had the X factor.
Something indescribable. Something exceptional.
Perhaps you doubted the truth to those words when you took in your rag-tag group of bandmates in your high school music room. But, your first performance together–for a crowd–was electric.
And you've been pursuing that same feeling ever since.
Now, with a recording contract, a debut album, an EP, and a #1 Billboard hit under your belt, your band is gearing up for the biggest album release of the year. With major publicity and curiosity from fans and critics alike, you can feel the potential thrumming beneath your skin. You're on the edge of a precipice. You're going to be a star.
Until the shocking truth hits the tabloids and–eventually–major news outlets.
Your career falls apart before you in a matter of days.
Your manager resigns, the media turns against you, your fans wage war against each other as lines are drawn in the sands of stardom.
How will you rebuild your legacy, and what will you sacrifice to reach the top once again?
