This is the story of Eliza Silum, a young music reviewer, and Paul Hudson. talented songwriter and leader of the group “Bananafish”. To become a real rock star, he is forced to fight with “musical pagans and mindless pop savages,” with the Winkles - managers and producers, with Eliza’s peculiar phobia... However, Paul is destined for the fate of a loser and a suicide. Although love and art can resurrect everything... The world is full of people who we no longer need, but who are trying to make their slaves out of us. They have their own music, and we have ours. Their music is the senseless nightmares that choke us at night, but if they did not exist, we would have nothing to compare our Songs of Freedom with. And then we would not know their strength, just as one cannot know the strength of the wind if it does not encounter any obstacles on its way.
