Adam Blue is destined to be a rockstar. As lead singer of Viral Blue, he knows it's just a matter of time before he's on his way to fame and fortune. If he can just get a studio to sign his band and get his songs on the radio, he knows he'll make it big. When they land a spot onstage at a popular nightclub downtown, Adam hopes to get noticed. But he doesn't expect to meet sexy Paulo Raucci, owner of Raucci Entertainment, a local studio looking for fresh talent. Paul likes Adam's sound and, more importantly, likes Adam, as well. But when Paul brings the band into the studio, his partner Lewis isn't quite as taken with Adam's rockstar attitude. Lewis doesn't want to sign the band until Adam proves he's willing to work. Unfortunately, the band takes second priority to Adam's growing interest Paul ... an interest that has nothing to do with his musical career. The stress of recording their first studio album threatens to tear the band apart, and Adam's ego further drives a wedge between the members of Viral Blue. Paul does his best to keep the band together, but ultimately it's Adam's call. Adam wants it all -- his band, his first record, and his new lover. Now that his dreams are finally within reach, what does he have to do to make them come true?

“What time?” Adam’s voice sounds tight, controlled.


Paul wonders if it’s just the connection or if it has anything to do with his comment about squeezing them in. The minute he said that he knew it was a bit much.


Paul shrugs, then realizes Adam can’t see him and frowns at his reflection   staring back from the glass window that cages in the sound booth. He’s sitting at the console, fiddling with dials and thinking over his schedule for today. He has a group coming in at noon, someone Lewis wants him to start working with, but after two he plans to kick them out because he really wants to see Adam again. “How about three?”
