It's the glittering opportunistic eighties and Thom Kane is working in London's hottest ad agency. He feels the zeitgeist, but his career is going nowhere. Making an escape, he drives north, landing on a remote Scottish island where he encounters Eliot, a charismatic young guitar player with a phenomenal talent. And Rhona, an artist who intuitively realises that together Thom and Eliot could forge a brilliant future. Thom's audacious ploy is to take on and outplay the music and media machine. Eliot, naïve and idealistic goes along with Thom and leaves the wildly beautiful island he loves for rock'n'roll-London, New York and whatever comes. Eliot is determined never to play the fame game or squander his musical gift, but in this world can he stay true to himself?Can Thom? Can anyone?
