Joe Henley is the lead vocalist for the rock band Beach Sirens. After the dismal release of their third studio album, Music to Die to, Joe fears his band falling apart. He drowns the noise with alcohol and drugs until an unforeseen circumstance causes his life to shift trajectories. Unsure about where his career and life are headed, Joe falls into the world of film composing and encounters an array of artists along the way. A comment on modern art, the novel explores what it means to be a creator and the cost of fame.

Jesse David lives in North Carolina. This is his second novel. He has written six screenplays, three novels, and directed two independent feature films. For David, it was an immense pleasure to write the history of Joseph Henley, the frontman of Beach Sirens.
