Beyond the Spotlight (Micheal Jackson)

Michael Jackson is used to people treating him differently because of who he is. Fans adore him, strangers stare at him, and everyone seems to have BAD TOUR • BAD ERA • 1987-1989

Michael Jackson is at the height of his Bad era, traveling the world on his first solo tour and preparing to film the music video for "The Way You Make Me Feel."

Danelle knows exactly who Michael Jackson is. She knows the songs, the fame, and the screaming crowds-but she refuses to treat him like anything special.

To Michael, she's cold, stubborn, and completely unimpressed by him.

To Danelle, Michael is just another person-and she has no interest in pretending otherwise.

So when Michael unexpectedly chooses Danelle to play the lead female role in his upcoming music video, she's convinced he made the wrong decision.

Now they're forced to work together.

Every rehearsal becomes an argument. Every conversation turns into a challenge. Michael can't stand how Danelle talks to him, and Danelle can't stand how determined he is to get under her skin.

But somewhere between the arguments, teasing, rehearsals, and long days together, their feelings begin to change.

The two people who couldn't stand each other might be starting to realize that their biggest problem isn't their hatred...

It's how quickly that hatred is turning into something else.
