Summary
After the events of September 27, 1986, Jason Newsted's career is launched into first orbit after he's hired to fill the rather large boots of Metallica's former bassist. Little does he know that he's walking himself into more than just the limelight and straight into unprocessed grief, the cruelest of hazings, and having to survive weeks of touring with a band existing at the bottom of a Vodka bottle.
As he's subject to trial by fire (and booze, and drugs, and repressed trauma), he can't help but think that he'll never be more than just a Burton stand-in. Jason's world is turned upside down, however, when he has an unlikely encounter with James that begins to unravel into something entirely different.
