SYNOPSIS:

Rock star Kurt D. Cobryn emerges from rehab, searching for redemption in music, but the echoes of his past refuse to fade. As he works to rebuild his sound, a shadow from his darker days returns—Lucy Morningstar, the seductive force who gave him fame in exchange for his soul. Sharing a body with Conney, Kurt’s estranged wife, Lucy’s influence is insidious, weaving chaos through the threads of Kurt’s life. While Conney struggles for control, glimpses of her humanity reveal truths that Kurt cannot ignore.

Caught between fleeting love, fractured family ties, and the growing pressure to protect his daughter, Kurt’s grasp on reality begins to unravel. Dreams blur with delusions as Lucy manipulates his choices and offers a sinister ultimatum that tests the limits of his morality. In the haze of ambition and despair, Kurt is drawn toward a devastating realization—one that forces both himself and Lucy to confront the deeper forces driving their fates.

Set in the grunge-soaked haze of the 1990s, Melody of the Abyss dives into the sacrifices behind artistry, fame, and the lingering price of a soul. It’s a haunting tale of ambition, redemption, and the humanity buried within the depths of personal conflict. - WGAW:2273657
