Summary
A soap opera that spans 40 years with multiple character perspectives.
Maisie Wells is only 19 when she's swept up into the world of rock and roll when she meets young Roger Waters in a park in Cambridge, but much to the chagrin (maybe?) of the jaded, troubled bassist is charmed instead by his best friend Syd Barrett, a sweet, innocent, but unfortunately very sick boy. After a bizarre and sad set of circumstances leaves Syd and Maisie torn apart, she moves on, eventually...with shy, guarded, stable David Gilmour. This is their story: the story of a muse and her three artists, three (maybe?) love stories that leave four people tied for life (and after).
Our story starts in 2006 at Syd's funeral, where three are reunited for the first time in years.
P.S. - I have sprinkled references to songs and r/pinkfloydcirclejerk memes throughout this piece in the hopes that my friends there will give me a little bit of a cult following. Enjoy, guys!

Summary
In 1974, the drama turns up for our beloved characters as they go about their lives...from Roger manipulating David into working with Syd professionally again to the grueling process of recording an album to follow up Pink Floyd's most commercial success to date, to a fateful encounter at the recording studio after Jane and Rick's wedding ... and then to a vacation in the German Black Forest that results in some unexpected encounters and a deadly, devastating fire...will all see a moment of peace?
In 1978, David and Maisie begin to struggle with the strain that his touring and her work puts on their relationship, but swear to stick it out and spend their lives together, affirming their love for one another during a steamy getaway on an island off the coast of California. Meanwhile Roger goes into a tailspin after Cora walks out on him, and his fragile state leads him to kick one of Pink Floyd's founding members out of the band.
In the present, Maisie barely escapes Roger's clutches at a reunion show in London, and the confrontation between David and Roger that results may ensure that Roger never sees Maisie, or plays with his old band, ever again.
