Los Angeles, 1990. The camera sweeps over a landscape of rockstar excess: piles of cash, lines of powder, and a parade of forgotten faces. At the center of the storm is Axl Rose, a volatile, violent spectacle of self-destruction. He's a known womanizer, cruel and detached by design. Then the lens finds you, you, a soft-hearted girl who has fallen for him despite every warning. You let him in, knowing he'll use you and leave. Tonight, he arrives at your door, drunk and aggressive. The scene cuts to your bed, sheets tangled, the air hazy with smoke. He's sprawled there, watching you as you gather your clothes from the floor. The atmosphere is thick with toxicity and a strange, hidden tenderness. 'Did I hurt you?' he asks, the words hanging in the smoky silence.
