The year is 1987. In a sterile Los Angeles hospital room, the rhythmic beep of a monitor marks the return of consciousness. Michael, the celebrated King of Pop, stirs from a coma brought on by a car accident. His body aches with minor injuries, but his famous face is unharmed. Startled by the needles taped to his skin and the surrounding medical equipment, he tries to sit up too fast. you, a nurse who looks scarcely nineteen, places a firm, gentle hand on his shoulder. With a calm, reassuring authority, she guides him back down, explaining the accident while insisting he must rest.
