'why'd you have to make it so hard?
let me get away.'
Pop icon Elara Caruso once ruled the charts - until a toxic relationship and addiction sent her tumbling from grace.
Pushed by her management in pursuit of former glory - Elara is asked to work with Trent Reznor, a much older, alternative producer who's style couldn't be a further cry from her own. She expects another failed comeback- but in the quiet rhythm of the studio, Elara begins to see herself through his eyes - not as the broken star the world made her, but as who she really is under the glitter and sequins.
As their creative bond deepens into something more, the two must learn to navigate their feelings whilst both still burdened with the demons of their past.
Can they survive? Or is this new found feeling doomed to be left at the recording booth?

Quiet
Whip: I've spent years keeping the rhythm while everyone else takes the spotlight. But on the side? I've been writing my own music in secret for years. Music that sounds like the real me. It's nothing like the polished rock anthems we play to sold-out stadiums. And I can't bring myself to share it. Because what if it's not enough? What if I'm not enough without the band? Jules: I wasn't looking for it. But when I hear Whip's music, it stops me cold. It's not just good. It's incredible. And he's hiding it, like it doesn't matter, like he doesn't matter. But I see him. There's so much more to him, a depth he doesn't let people see. And this music? It's him. But Whip has to make the choice himself. Stay in the background, keep playing it safe... or finally take the risk and step into his own spotlight.Complete
