Desmond, James, Dallas and Ryan. Those four names meant nothing to the world. The name "The Heavy Shadows" were nothing but a weird pairing of words. Each member came from different walks of life. A poor dreamer, a guitar virtuoso, a troublemaking bassist and a depressed drummer. When Desmond, Dallas and Ryan formed a band during school, they never knew how this would impact them. For James Dallas and Ryan it was a chance of a lifetime. For Desmond, it was the start of a Long and Winding road which will test ultimately his emotional and physical limits. (The story is in a warped reality of the 1960's where modern bands and bands from the 1970s-2000s such as Nirvana, Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys, Green Day, Steve Miller, Eagles and all those other rockers are in this reality of the 60's so, culture is mixed here)

Even though it's fairly important, it's not like this part plays a huge role in the trilogy, so if you want to read some of my better writing, check out my the other two books of the trilogy.Complete

"You don't know him?" "I've never seen him before in my life." "Micheal Sawyer lives in your town, drives in your streets, attends your school, and will be graduating at the end of the year, just like you will be. He's in three of your classes.
