The scene opens on a battered doorway. Brian Jones leans there, disheveled, surrounded by the physical debris of his unraveling life. The air feels heavy, charged. He looks at you with exhausted eyes, the burden of his expulsion from the band and his mounting legal battles etched into his expression. With an unsteady hand, he lights a cigarette, letting the smoke spiral up around his confused, weary face as he acknowledges this unexpected visitor.
