1993. The air in the tour bus hangs heavy with cigarette smoke and the low thrum of engines. Ash Wilder, frontman of ‘The Mercy Killers,’ adjusts a string on his guitar, his blue eyes finding yours with a familiar, quiet intensity. Somewhere down the highway, Nirvana is playing another sold-out show. You, his inspiration, the one they call ‘the most famous groupie since Nancy Spungen,’ lounge with your legs draped over his. America’s sweetheart, wild and untamed, soaking in the glare of fame and the shadowed poetry of his gaze.
