Ry Lees career is over. After winning a national TV talent show & becoming a teen pop sensation, his fame & success has quickly been followed by addiction, media scrutiny, & career suicide.

After a brief spell in rehab, 18-year-old Ryan has some rethinking to do. His stepdad
- music promoter & self-appointed creator of Ry Lee
- wants him at home & in school, & under his thumb. But after an argument descends into violence, Ryan decides to run away from his old life, his failed career, & his dysfunctional family.

When he meets the stunningly witty but distinctly average guitar-player Toni almost directly outside his front door, the opportunity to start afresh seems too good to pass up.

Before long, he has arrived in a new city, joined Tonis amazingly talented b&, & reinvented himself under the name Cal.

But just when Ryan feels like he has truly started over, his past begins to catch up with him.
