JANE PYRE was part of the famous rock 'n' roll duo, the Lightning Bottles. But when her bandmate and soulmate, ELIJAH HART, went missing at the height of their fame, she became the most vilified, misunderstood woman in music.
Jane retreats to the countryside, but she can't escape her past. Her new neighbour is a Lightning Bottles superfan claiming she has evidence Elijah is still alive and leaving secret messages in different cities.
Suddenly Jane is in a race against time to uncover the mystery about her star-crossed love... But will the truth mend her heart or finally break it forever?
