It's 1978 and Nick Du Pont, one-time PR man to Sixties rock
behemoths the Helium Kids, is back in London and bent on founding
his own record label. A new kind of music - sharp, hard and
dangerous - is bursting onto the airwaves on both sides of the
Atlantic and Nick wants a slice of the action - in particular, the
work of The Flame Throwers, the most provocative assemblage of
street-smart desperadoes ever to hail from downtown Los Angeles.
Picking up from where the highly-praised Rock and Roll is Life
(2018) left off, this is the story of Resurgam Records and the
personal traumas and tragedies that attended its coruscating rise -
until the time when, as so invariably happens, the dancers shuffle
to a halt and the music stops.
