Overview

It’s the 1970s, and two young men are brought together by their shared love of music.

Ray Roderick and his best friend Gene Hillard form a blues-rock band: the Dusty Brooms. With Ray on lead vocals and Gene on rhythm guitar, they take their home state of Michigan by storm. Though Ray feels a peculiar longing in his heart every time he plays music with Gene. It messes with his head—and he buries his emotions in the arms of beautiful women.

Little does Ray know that Gene is feeling the same for him. Jealousy sparks within Gene every time he sees Ray with a woman. But he shouldn’t be jealous—no, it’s outrageous for him to want his best friend like that. A romantic relationship with Ray could never happen, as the Dusty Brooms rise in popularity.

But as his feelings grow stronger, it gets harder and harder to deny them…
