In the summer of 1976, seventeen-year-old Liliana Rojas is sent to Seattle to spend a few months with her Aunt Rosa-a chance to escape her messy home life in Los Angeles. She never expects to meet Frank Feranna Jr., a wild-eyed dreamer with a busted guitar and a head full of rock 'n' roll fantasies. What starts as lazy afternoons on rooftops, passing a joint and talking about music, quickly turns into something deeper. By the time the summer ends, they're inseparable. And then, just like that, it's over.
Liliana returns to LA. Frank becomes Nikki Sixx.
Five years later, it's 1981, and Liliana is carving out a name for herself as a photographer in the L.A. rock scene. One night, while shooting a set at the Whisky a Go Go, she sees him again-on stage, larger than life, louder than ever. Nikki Sixx. He doesn't recognize her at first, but once he does, everything comes flooding back.
They fall back into something fast, reckless, and addictive. But when Liliana finds out she's pregnant in 1982 and tells Nikki, his reaction is anything but the fairy tale she hoped for. Fame, pressure, and the ghosts of who they used to be drive a wedge between them, forcing Liliana to choose between the boy she once loved and the man he's become.
All These Years is a story about first love, second chances, and the high cost of chasing a dream. It's about who you are before the world gets to you-and whether love can survive what's left after the spotlight fades.
