1998. London moves between the melancholy of Britpop and the last bursts of a broken decade. Jodie Thuner, the young promise of alternative folk, has just conquered the British charts with an intimate and unadorned album. Her world is one of order, harmonic silences, and whispering lyrics.
But when Valentine Records assigns her to open for The Midnight Ride-the most chaotic, worn-out, and revered cult band of the nineties-everything changes. The stage is no longer hers. It belongs to them: to Matthew Hill, his broken voice and indomitable frontman; to Dex, his sarcastic and self-destructive guitarist; to Joel, a restless drummer who lives on the edge; and to Neil, a silent bassist who sees more than he says.
