Adam Wilde is the star of a famous rock band and he is about to start a 67-day tour. He drinks heavily and takes drugs to stay calm. There’s no sign that he enjoys his wealth and fame, and there are hints that the does not get along with the members of his band. His manager, Aldous, delivers him to an interview with a reporter named Vanessa Legrande. Though this is supposed to be a standard publicity interview, Vanessa probes into his past. She asks him about a woman named Mia, with whom he went to high school. He reminds her that he has a girlfriend named Bryn, not Mia. He denies being close with Mia, but Vanessa has yearbook photos implying that they had been a couple. She reminds him that Mia’s family was killed in a car crash. Adam ends the interview abruptly and storms out.
Aldous clears Adam’s schedule and encourages him to spend a day alone and unplugged before the tour starts. As Adam wanders the streets of New York, he thinks about how bad things have become with his band. They never even stay in the same hotel anymore.
