Rock & roll stardom is something you dream about when you're young, but for Libby Conlin the '80s and all their wild promise are ancient history. What pulls her attention now is the unexpected arrival of Bridget, her newly divorced daughter, home again despite their historically fractious relationship and the chaos it inspires. Life quickly turns upside down when Bridget's application to a local art school involves anonymously posting Libby's old music online, music that's good enough to garner the attention of industry gatekeepers. When Libby's mysterious past—and all its dark secrets—comes roaring into the present, the reconfiguration of everything and everyone in her orbit is both bittersweet and life changing. Chick Singer explores a complex mother/daughter relationship against the backdrop of music, dreams, and love—and the art of redefining all three.
