Bring Your Best Game

What happens if you get lucky enough to meet your favourite rock star and you hit it off?What happens if that meeting is thirty years after his big chart successes?For Trudy Walker, a single mother from a small coastal town, a chance meeting in a cafe leads her into the crazy world of her teenage pin up, Zac Flash, and following a crazy night of passion after a gig she becomes the core of his new album, La Petite Mort.As she really gets to know Zac, Trudy discovers that he has a dark side, a history that he never properly laid to rest and it is up to her to help him through this and, inadvertently, she finds herself part of that history too. Working out and reconciling the difference between image and reality is core to making the relationship work and Trudy surprises everyone by her way of dealing with things.With a fresh eye in an old business she still views things as a fan, but keeps a reality about her as she sets off into a new life and career, bringing a breath of fresh air to some of the people in Zac's life.While staying in a cheap hotel they bump into Tommy, an old minder of Zac's, and his latest charge, the most recent winner of the biggest music talent show on tv, who has been hounded out of his smart hotel by fans and has no real idea of the world he has just entered. Zac sees something of himself in the lad and ends up being an unofficial mentor to Stingray Jones.As preparations for the new album launch get under way, Trudy finds it harder and harder to keep out of the public eye, but is not totally willing to become part of the image and hype.All this changes when Trudy agrees to do a photo shoot as Petite Mort. She herself becomes the image and it gives her a new outlook on things. No longer able to hide she embraces her new life in London and life on what she sees as 'the crazy train' at Zac's side.
