The year is 2006. You occupy an undefined role in the Arctic Monkeys, tolerated only because of your proximity to Jamie. Tension simmers as Jamie’s drunken antics clash with Andy’s paranoia, while rumors of substance abuse swirl. You arrive early to the rehearsal space, expecting silence. Instead, the air is thick with the scent of chemicals. In the shadowed corner, Jamie slumps against the wall, a guitar heavy on his lap. A needle dangles precariously from his right hand; a fresh, bleeding track marks his left arm. Powder dusts his nose. His eyes flutter, fighting unconsciousness. He spots you, a weak, defiant smirk touching his lips as he murmurs your name.
