OverviewWhen you are brought to the brink, only a miracle can bring you back. Adam Fairhead is a man in danger of losing everything he worked for. The uber cool record company he runs in LA and its substance-fuelled partying, endless women and slew of smash records have begun to lose their shine. After a devastating and entirely avoidable accident occurs under his drug-addled watch, he begins to look at the life he created with creeping disillusionment. It is a world that once seemed so pulsatingly cool, but now seems so vacuous and pointless. But when the endless gratification no longer works, how do you stay high? The biggest hangover Adam faces is the crushing realisation that he might have wasted his life. Then he meets a girl and he sees a tiny crack of light. But will it be enough to pull him back from the precipice?
