Mitchell is desperate to be loved. When heartbreak collides with ambition, he strikes a deal with Satan himself, trading his soul for instant pop superstardom in a bid to win back the girl he's madly in love with: Summer.
Over the years that follow, Summer watches Mitchell rise from obscurity to global fame, their relationship stretching and warping under the weight of success. Love blurs with performance, devotion competes with image, and the cost of being seen grows harder to ignore. And behind the glamour, a darker truth closes in: Mitchell's success comes with a ticking clock, and his soul can only be reclaimed if he writes one completely authentic love song.
As Mitchell's longstanding mental health struggles resurface, his search for truth leads him beyond recording studios and toward an unexpected connection that challenges everything he believes about love.
Funny, dark, and unexpectedly tender, this is a story about longing, illusion, and the cost of becoming someone the world wants-while searching for something real enough to keep.
MICHAEL OTIS is a writer for whom writing has always been a means of survival as much as expression. From an early age, the page became a place to voice what could not be spoken and to release what weighed heavily inside. He once pursued a more conventional path during university, believing stability would bring clarity, but a profound turning point forced him to reconsider what mattered most. Confronted with the uncertainty of tomorrow, he chose writing instead. He continues to write because it helps him make sense of life, and because some stories feel necessary to tell.
