Killer tunes.
 
  Kirby Turner is on her last chance. Fresh out of rehab, she was afraid her fledgling music career was over before it began, but then she got the call. Arena tour. Had a last-minute dropout. Want a girl drummer. Feminist thing or something. Would be good for you. 
 
  
 
  Killer lyrics.
 
  When she finds out who the artist is, it feels like fate. Silver might now be the most famous singer on the planet, but Kirby knows her best as Alice Taffer, her former bandmate from years ago. From before their lead singer Hailey died, and Kirby was blamed, and she slid into the gutter while Alice shot towards the stars.
 
  
 
  Killer.
 
  It seems too good to be true that they're reunited now - and as the tour begins, and Kirby is playing in front of fans again for the first time in years, it feels like coming home. But as the music starts to bring back buried memories of that last day with Hailey, she starts to wonder: was Hailey's death really her fault? How exactly did Silver rise to the top so fast? And now that Kirby's got everything she ever wanted - what would she do to hold on to it?
