Felix Brigati, New Jersey rock legend, has been getting threatening, anonymous texts. He hires an old acquaintance, Phil Allman, a private investigator, to safeguard him, not trusting those already in his camp, due to the personal nature of the messages.

Instead of protection, the desolate Allman holds his hero captive in the fortified basement of his deceased uncle's secluded house in rural Pennsylvania, while they try to determine who is harassing Felix. Upon returning from an errand, Allman finds Brigati gone. Did Brigati somehow escape? Was he abducted by his stalker? If not, by whom? It is crucial that Phil finds Felix before he gets arrested for his own kidnapping, or real harm comes to the music superstar.
Suspenseful, insightful, and surprisingly funny, Freeze Out is a noir elegy on middle-aged loneliness and the duality of fame.
