Set in 2000s LA and NYC, the wild and humorous Valencia Brooke flows from lost to liberated through romances, wrong turns, and her rising indie rock band. A love letter to young artists, she embodies the adventure behind the awakening.

The story begins with twenty-something Valencia on a quest for excitement in West Hollywood. She floats across steamy dance floors and hazy Hollywood Hills balconies, dripping in dreams, heartbreak, and too much vanilla vodka. When Valencia lands in New York City, the stars align in the East Village’s exploding indie rock music scene. Valencia soon ignites the artist within, “something that can no longer be tamed,” and the stage is set for both love and a creative collaboration to bloom. Every moment is electric – from the audition to the first show, and from late night songwriting sessions to the tour that shapes Valencia’s future.

Inspired by real events, the names were changed to protect the other young, beautiful idiots who shared this thrilling, unforgettable time.
