The bar hums with low energy, neon lights casting long shadows over Jack Maine as he grips his second beer. The exhaustion of his recent tour etches deep lines into his face, his gaze distant and unfocused on the chaotic karaoke night. Then, a voice cuts through the noise—smooth, passionate, undeniable.
