Once she was the face that launched a thousand hits. Now Birdie Walker - rock widow, ageing wild child - is scratching a that dark heart of the music industry. She's the woman everyone still loves to hate. Media darling, media demon, she fights with fame and infamy alike, always watching with a greedy eye for the main chance. If advantage can be taken, she'll take it. And then want more.
Twenty years ago Birdie and her rockstar lover, Jack, were the most famous couple alive. It is a past she can no longer live up to but which she can never live down. The public has outrageous memories of her, but she knows the truth and it leaves her with a cynical view of young bands, young love and especially of the music business with its predatory attitude to youth and talent.
