Mike woke up in a hospital in Germany three years ago and went clean. But life in recovery isn't exactly easy.
Double Blind Study has been through every rock and roll cliché ever contrived. When their drummer nearly dies from a drug overdose, everything changes.
Life is important again.
Living is important again.
No one knows that better than Mike.
So why does he feel like even though he's breathing and he's happy, his heart isn't beating the way it should be?
Maybe it never did.
When Mike meets Clarke for the first time, he knows he should stay away from her. He knows too much about her and what she's been through. But for the first time, his heart has found another with a rhythm that matches his own. Every beat explodes a beam of light to illuminate his darkness.
Mike's been living life raw, unplugged. He's close to a reckoning. When it all comes apart, and he's faced with every mistake he's ever made, will the darkness win out? Or will the steady drum of a healthy pulse finally pull him into the light for good?
