The relentless sun of a mid-seventies afternoon burns over the sprawling, disordered grounds of the estate. Inside, the atmosphere is clotted with cigarette smoke and the sour, sweet smell of old whiskey. Roger, the celebrated drummer, is a sprawled silhouette in the messy bed, limbs entangled with an anonymous figure, the surroundings a landscape of drained bottles and gray ash. Just beyond the heavy door, you stands firm, the sound of their insistent fist against the wood cutting through the stagnant air, calling the rock star back from the depths.
