Room Next Door ☆ Elijah Hewson
Eli Hewson, frontman of the rising rock band Inhaler, is unraveling. Months of creative block, tension with his bandmates, and a devastating breakup with his girlfriend, Grace Burns, have left him questioning everything-his music, his relationships, even his identity. What once felt like a dream life now feels hollow, and the cracks are impossible to ignore.
In search of clarity, Eli retreats to the legendary Chelsea Hotel in New York, hoping its storied walls might reignite his lost spark. There, among ghosts of artists past, he isolates himself from fame, friends, and expectations-until he meets Saoirse Dupret.
Saoirse, a sharp-witted groupie-turned-columnist for Star magazine, lives in the room next door. With her unapologetic energy, biting commentary on the music world, and a personal history as complex as Eli's, she becomes an unlikely companion. As the two form a friendship built on late-night conversations, shared loneliness, and mutual curiosity, Eli begins to peel back the layers of his life and rediscover the heart of his artistry.
But as their bond deepens and the outside world starts to call him back, Eli must confront the truth about who he is-both onstage and off-and what he's willing to sacrifice to find his voice again.
Set against the backdrop of rock 'n' roll's past and present, this is a story about identity, reinvention, and the unexpected connections that can pull us out of the darkest moments.
