In the era of hair metal, all the good times are happening down on the Sunset Strip. Which is why that's the first place Delmer goes, after moving across the country to chase his dreams of rock stardom.

Too bad about that killer stalking around the Strip. The one who takes a particular interest in the hard-partying metalheads. Sure, there's a detective named Isley on the case, but she's coming off of a few things too. The sorts of things she used to buy down there on Sunset. Which doesn't exactly help with the crimesolving.

In time, the paths of the rocker, the killer, and the cop will converge. It's inevitable. That's how these stories always go.

But ask any kid on Sunset with a band and a dream, and they'll tell you:

Nothing ever comes together the way you expect it to.
