American Satan

Two young musicians, one from England and one from the United States, drop out of college to chase a dream that lives on the Sunset Strip. They join forces with a scrappy band, bunking in rehearsal spaces and chasing gigs in crowded clubs. The nights grow louder as their music earns attention, but the road to fame comes with a price narrator never anticipated. A charismatic promoter and a world weary mentor enter the picture, offering a shortcut that promises stardom but tests loyalty, nerve, and the friendships holding the group together. The story tracks their rise, the temptations that arrive with success, and the sense that something darker is listening. The mood stays tense and the stakes rise.
