"Well, I can't believe I'm doing this, but here I go. Into the abyss..." With these words, Alex Markham begins writing the story of his deceased older brother. David was a star, beloved by many, but understood by few. Now his story has fallen into the hands of the younger brother who spent his whole life in David's shadow. But for Alex, this is not a tribute. It's a chance to tell the world the real story...the dark story. The one no one knows. The one no one wants to know. For only Alex knew the real David Markham...the man behind the fame, the booze, and the drugs. But maybe...just maybe...not even Alex knew the real David. What will ensue as he writes is a journey of discovery...not only of David's life, but of his own as well.
