Meet the band:
Troy Hudson (deceased) – Bass:
He was married and painfully faithful to his wife Patty. Known for overindulgence in alcohol and drugs, he was the life of the party. His death sent shock waves throughout the music world. Can it also do some good?
Shane Martin – Vocals/Rhythm Guitar
Father of one and addict in recovery, he bears the largest burden, but it is self-inflicted. His past haunts him daily, including guilt over his best friend’s death. Most women eventually let him down, so he has trust issues. There is one who always lifts him up. She is the forbidden fruit. Can he find a way around that or will he give up?
Carter Keys – Lead Guitar:
Although sober, he hasn’t changed much. He’s still a man-whore and impulsive. Life without a band is quite boring. The urge to play his guitar for more than just one grows daily. Thoughts of starting a solo project are rejected, but how else can he satisfy all his needs?
Kyle Savage – Drums:
He is the level headed one. The one who keeps his bandmates in check. He never lets loose and never goes too far. Since they became sober, he doesn’t feel the need to watch over them. He can finally live how he wants to. Does that mean settling down, or partying hard?
Zack Bryant – Bass (for Dangerzone):
Although young and talented, he worries he will always be second best. Some days, he wishes his band would trust him and create original music. At home, his girlfriend has no faith in him. He knows they’re not in love, but he needs her. Can he find a way out and discover love is out there?
