Summary

It's 1978 and Nick Du Pont, one-time PR man to Sixties rock behemoths the Helium Kids, is back in London and bent on founding his own record label. A new kind of music—sharp, hard and dangerous—is bursting onto the airwaves on both sides of the Atlantic and Nick wants a slice of the action—in particular, the work of The Flame Throwers, the most provocative assemblage of street-smart desperadoes ever to hail from downtown Los Angeles.

Picking up from where the highly praised Rock and Roll is Life (2018) left off, this is the story of Resurgam Records and the personal traumas and tragedies that attended its coruscating rise—until the time when, as so invariably happens, the dancers shuffle to a halt and the music stops.
