- RichMo, a successful music artist and performer has all that he could ever dream of. He has attained great wealth, worldwide notoriety and the love of his life, his beautiful wife Maria who loves and supports him in all of his goals and accomplishments. That all changes after Maria's unexpected suicide devastates him and ultimately sends him spiraling down into a dark world filled with self blame, depression, rampant drug abuse, uncontrollable rage and self-destruction, which even succeeds in souring the once enduring relationships he had with many of his band members, colleagues, and his closest friends. Refusing all attempts to be helped by those who care deeply about him, RichMo instinctively destroys the bonds he has with the few remaining friends who want nothing but to see him rebound from his present tumultuous state. Even as opportunities to redeem himself and be removed from his world of peril present themselves, RichMo rejects them as he continues to blame himself for his wife's death and all of the events that have plagued him since. Soon, he finds himself in a desperate struggle for his own life as he watches everything he has worked for continue to fall all around him and while he deliberates if he should forgive himself or die.
