Matthew Smith, a very famous musician, disappeared without a trace years ago. But where is the rock star? Did he perhaps commit suicide? No one has a clue to his disappearance.

Together with the amateur documentary filmmaker Charlie, the journalist sets to work. They set off on their search, but she can't quite be happy about the job yet - because the missing rock star is, of all people, her ex-boyfriend...
