In the lush hills of Appalachia and the neon lights of Nashville, a haunting story of two women unfolds across two decades. In 1973, Elle Harlow is a rising folk star at the peak of her fame. After a career-defining performance at the Grand Ole Opry, she mysteriously vanishes, leaving behind a Studebaker, a broken mandolin, and a legacy of secrets.
Nearly twenty years later, eighteen-year-old Marijohn Shaw spends her days pumping gas in a sleepy Pennsylvania town, dreaming of a life in music. Her father, Abe, is obsessed with the legend of Elle Harlow, claiming to be the last person to see her alive. When a meteor strike uncovers a hidden piece of the past, Marijohn is thrust into a journey to uncover the truth.
This is a powerful tale of intimate betrayal, the toxic music industry, and the sacrifices made for art. As Marijohn pieces together Elle’s disappearance, she discovers a deep connection that will redefine her own future and the legacy of song.
