Julian Alters' parents never supported his dream of
becoming a musician. His wife, Brooke, worked two jobs in
order to support their family. Brooke worked as a
nutritionist at a local hospital and at an all girls
private school, but she had dreams of opening her own
clinic. Julian played local gigs at various bars
throughout Manhattan. Brooke and Julian were barely making
ends meet. But when Sony Records signs Julian to a
record deal, Brooke and Julian are on their way to
stardom. However, their brush with fame turns into a
nightmare for their marriage.
When Julian signs with Sony, Brooke is ecstatic that
her husband's long life dream is finally coming true.
Julian is transformed from a struggling local musician into
a megastar when he is booked on The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno. Brooke can hardly believe that Julian and her are
flying to Los Angeles and staying at the legendary Chateau
Marmont -- Hollywood's celebrities' home away from home.
When Brooke and Julian are sharing a drink with Jon Bon
Jovi, Brooke realizes that her life will never be the same
again.
After Julian's appearance on The Tonight Show, his fame
reaches new heights, especially when the paparazzi has a
field day with him at a celebrity party. Soon Julian
Alters' name becomes a household word. Julian's agent books
Julian for performances around the country. Reality finally
starts to set in for Brooke when she is forced to return to
her job in Manhattan without Julian. Julian's constant
absence soon begins to take its toll on their marriage,
especially when the sleazy but popular tabloid, Last Night,
begins to post scandalous stories about Brooke and Julian.
As the paparazzi begin to dish out scandal after scandal,
Brooke begins to question if her marriage can withstand
Julian's fame.

chaotic life of a Hollywood celebrity. This is the perfect

Brooke loved reading the dishy celebrity gossip rag Last
Night. That is, until her marriage became a weekly
headline.Brooke was drawn to the soulful, enigmatic Julian
Alter the very first time she heard him
perform “Hallelujah” at a dark East Village dive bar.Now
five years married, Brooke balances two jobs—as a
nutritionist at NYU Hospital and as a consultant to an
Upper East Side girls’ school, where privilege gone wrong
and disordered eating run rampant—in order to help support
her husband’s dream of making it in the music world.Things
are looking up when after years of playing Manhattan clubs
and toiling as an A&R intern, Julian finally gets signed by
Sony. Although no one’s promising that the album will ever
hit the airwaves, Julian is still dedicated to logging in
long hours at the recording studio. All that changes after
Julian is asked to perform on the Tonight Show with Jay
Leno—and is catapulted to stardom, literally overnight.
Amazing opportunities begin popping up almost daily—a new
designer wardrobe, a tour with Maroon 5, even a Grammy
performance.At first the newfound fame is fun—who wouldn’t
want to stay at the Chateau Marmont or visit the set of one
of television’s hottest shows? Yet it seems that Brooke’s
sweet husband—the man who can’t handle hot showers and
wears socks to bed—is increasingly absent, even on those
rare nights they’re home together. When rumors about Brooke
and Julian swirl in the tabloid magazines, she begins to
question the truth of her marriage and is forced to finally
come to terms with what she thinks she wants—and what she
actually needs.
