The Public Saw a Feud. The Truth Was a War.
In the neon-drenched, high-stakes landscape of 1984, the music industry has decided there is only room for one icon. Michael, the world's polished, golden-voiced King, and Prince, the enigmatic, funk-driven rebel, are forced into a bitter, media-manufactured rivalry. As the press feasts on their scripted hatred, the two icons are thrust into a claustrophobic dance of sabotage, obsession, and clandestine sanctuary.
But as the lines between their performative warfare and private reality begin to fray, they discover a dangerous truth: the hate they perform for the cameras is the only language left for a love they aren't allowed to have.
From the damp silence of a Minneapolis basement to the shattering pressure of global superstardom, Crowns & Chords is a raw, psychological slow-burn about two men tearing down their own pedestals. In a world of puppets and strings, they will have to decide what is worth more: the crowns they were handed, or the chords they wrote in the dark.
One feud. Two lives. No exit.
