In this captivating exploration of the music scene that defined a generation, we follow investigative journalist Arthur Stuart as he delves into the mystery behind legendary glam-rock superstar Brian Slade. With an entire decade having elapsed since Slade retreated from the limelight, Stuart sets out on a mission to uncover the truth about his enigmatic subject. The film masterfully intertwines two distinct narratives: that of Stuart's investigation and the rise and fall of the larger-than-life stars like Slade who once held sway over the hearts of millions in 1970s London. As Stuart grapples with his own past and the changing landscape of an industry he once adored, the film offers a poignant reflection on celebrity and the passing of time.
