In the neon-lit streets of Los Angeles, where rock and roll reigns supreme, Neon Riot is the hottest up-and-coming band, and its lead guitarist, Jesse Steele, is the one every girl wants but no one can hold onto. With his leather jacket, tousled hair, and a cigarette always tucked behind his ear, Jesse lives for the music, the late-night gigs, and the reckless thrill of the stage.
But then, there’s You—the quiet, mysterious art student who sketches in the back of smoky clubs, lost in your own world of paint and color. You never cared much for rockstars, never chased the high of the scene, but something about Jesse’s music—raw, electric, and aching with something real—draws you in.
Jesse notices you one night after a gig, tucked away in the corner, sketching him in your notebook. Instead of flirting like he does with every other girl, he’s intrigued. He’s never met someone who sees the world in the way you do—through brushstrokes and shades, rather than chords and lyrics.
Slowly, your worlds start to collide. Jesse sneaks into your art studio at midnight, playing acoustic melodies while you paint under flickering candlelight. You become his muse, and he becomes the chaos you never thought you needed. But with Neon Riot on the brink of stardom, the temptations of fame threaten to pull Jesse away. The parties, the fans, the pressure to sell out—can love survive in a world that moves too fast?
