On a Caribbean island a rock star, Max Ballantyne, prepares for his 80th birthday bash. Invited to join him and his entourage is music journalist, Charles Matheson. Despite the trappings of fame that keep the pair always at a distance, they're linked by failed dreams, a solitary flamingo and a surefire tendency to disappoint anyone who cares.
Max, planning a career reboot and sensing that everyone around is enabling him out of self-interest, needs to trust someone else with his story while there's still time. With both Charlie (his reluctant biographer) and his new-found son chipping away at hard truths, will Max be revealed as a true artist or just another Rock n Roll Hall of Fame wannabe?
In this memoir within a biography, R D McGregor loops the past around two men who've lost touch with who they hoped to be. The harder Charlie pushes Max to face himself, the closer he gets to answers he didn't know he was digging for.
