"The world loved me until they decided not to.
Now I have to learn to love myself in the silence they left behind."
Scarlett James had everything. A platinum-selling career, packed arenas chanting her name, and the glittering promise of endless fame. But one reckless, drunken night with Hollywood's golden boy, sends it all crashing down. Overnight, Scarlett becomes a pariah, her reputation shattered, her album shelved, and her life in ruins.
With nowhere else to turn, Scarlett's last chance is Hollow Sound, a rising indie band whose brooding frontman, Rowan Beck, would rather have anyone but her singing his songs. But Scarlett isn't there to play nice or win hearts, she's there because she has no choice.
Forced together by circumstance and desperation, Scarlett and Rowan must navigate clashing egos, guarded secrets, and music that strips them bare. As the lines blur between who they were and who they might become, Scarlett realizes the biggest comeback isn't about reclaiming her fame.
It's about discovering a voice worth listening to, even if no one else is ready to hear it.
