In Daron's life, it's 1989, his band Moondog Three is starting to take off, and although the closet door is open now, he's barely got one toe out. He's told his closest friends and bandmates that he's gay, and he's sworn off sleeping with his lead singer. But just because they're not sleeping together doesn't mean a guitarist and a lead singer don't have a relationship... Daron and the band return from their roadtrip to prepare for a major cross-country tour. The itinerary will take them from California eastward, with all four band members, tech crew, and management sharing a tour bus. That won't be awkward or stress-inducing at all, will it?

Daron’s Guitar Chronicles tells the story of Daron Marks, a young gay guitar player, from about the time he is eighteen onward. He arrives at RIMCon (Rhode Island Musical Conservatory) in the mid-1980s, desperate to leave behind a dysfunctional family in New Jersey’s suburbs and discover himself. It’s the advent of MTV, AIDS, and punk versus metal, all of which will affect his journey searching for fame, artistic expression, and the courage to seek out the love he needs.
