Protagonista è Brian Slade, scomparso in seguito a quello che avrebbe dovuto essere un finto delitto in scena. Haynes utilizza la struttura narrativa di Citizen Kane per rievocare la fine degli anni Sessanta, il glam rock e il kitch. Anche qui infatti un giornalista indaga sulla morte e sulla vita del misterioso cantante.
