Summary: “Times where the band was all over the news and the new best thing are long gone. Sure, they are still on the road, still attract a decent crowd but they haven’t a released anything new in close to three years now. About to lose their record deal Jensen is desperately trying to find new ideas. But writing new songs proves to be much more difficult than it used to be. On a chance night he finds inspiration, only for it to turn out to be a washed up casting star seemingly earning his money out on the streets. That’s not really what he had in mind as his new muse. Jared, though, seems determined to stay around.”
