Born with a very rare spinal condition that affected the development of his legs and resulted in their amputation when he was just a baby, Rob "Bobby" Dall defied all odds pretty much from the moment he was born. His mother was told that she may as well not get very attached to him, 'cuz it wasn't likely that he'd live past a month old. When he proved his very first doctors wrong, they started discussing ways of making his Life better and easier as he aged. Nothing sounded like it'd work as well as amputating his useless, deformed legs, which'd at least allow him better mobility. It was certainly a barbaric solution, but it turned out to be the best decision that coulda been made, considering the lack of medical advancement in 1963. Left with really no other choices, Rob was determined to prove that he could do just about anything else those around him could. He might be shorter and unable to do things like run, but he wasn't about to let that stop him from achieving his ultimate Dream - to become a rock star. However, the road to stardom's never paved with precious Metals and rare gemstones, and it certainly isn't for him. Only through determination, struggle, and sheer grit does he manage to make it to the top and achieve what he set out to do before he was even legal to drink. But what happens when his band ultimately falls apart, and doesn't do much better after he gets a surprise and forms a bond with someone he never woulda expected to meet after moving out West?
