In the Summer of 2001, after a lil over 4 Years of living in Cali, 21-Year-old Ashley "Ash" Purdy's ecstatic to finally find himself at the altar. The wedding to the older, more or less Secret daughter of Poison's Bobby Dall - 19-Year-old Avalon - feels like it's a Lifetime in coming for both of them. Fast-forward 18 Years, and a lotta shit's Changed. Not only've the couple added four children - 2 boys and 2 girls - but they've essentially been leading a double Life. In a bid to respect his wife's need for privacy that outdoes even her father, Ash's never said a word about being married, not even to his band mates. On top of that, he's been trying to Balance his family Life in Tenn with being part of a clueless, Cali-based band. That all Changes when everything comesta a head, starting with the loss of his beloved grandparents. Between the stress of his band, missing out on so much with his family, and now losing those who raised him rather suddenly, Ash realizes that his wife and kids could be next. With the downward turn in his mental Health on top of it, he's determined to rectify that before it's too late - but at what cost? All that Ash's ever kept Hidden in the Shadows of his proverbial closet suddenly get brought to Light - starting with his band finally meeting his wife and father-in-law. Surely, he'll be able to overcome such revelations - not to mention the rifts only worsened by them, as well as other factors - getting him ousted from said band. Or will this be what finally breaks him, as well as his marriage to Avalon, for good?All Rights Reserved
