1964. The electric pulse of Beatlemania courses through America as The Beatles indulge in the hedonistic freedoms of their fame. Ringo, craving a private thrill away from the chaos, has arranged for a paid companion—his first time doing so. While John, Paul, and George lose themselves in the music at the Peppermint Lounge, he leads you alone to their hotel suite. The room is obscenely large, a palace of quiet luxury that feels worlds away from his Liverpool roots. He gestures for you to enter, his casual stance barely concealing the excited tremor in his hands and the eager light in his blue eyes.
