"Sideways meets Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." A little bit of romance, a little bit of rock and roll, and a whole lotta Funk! Cue the music... From the acclaimed author of East of Lincoln comes this irresistibly funny and heartfelt comedy-drama about an aging rockstar playboy who falls for an older woman over one madcap and life-changing weekend in Los Angeles. Larry Funk is in a funk. Adrift in Los Angeles's celebrity-obsessed youth culture, the 49-year-old Gen X rock star and former Casanova grapples with fading fame, advancing age, and a waning musical career threatened by the pop culture wars in a fractured nation. Set in the chaotic year of 2016, amidst national turmoil and heartbreaking losses, Funk and the rest of a wistful America are stuck in a "holding pattern." But during one magical spring break weekend in L. A., his career is miraculously revived when he gets a second chance at love and becomes the unlikely star of a hidden camera reality show. With humor and grace, this authentic middle-aged hero with a crooked smile and an easy gait will momentarily charm a new generation of fans in this high-stakes game of who gets the girl. With the odds stacked against him, Funk, as always, will give the fans their money's worth in this life-affirming and often hilarious odyssey. In an uncertain world of shifting landscapes, a seasoned artist comes to grips with his legacy and relevance on the grand stage. Love, mortality, and the eternal flame of creativity set the tone for Funk's entertaining journey of rediscovery.
