Notes From The Whiskey
Sometimes you have to destroy to create.
SYNOPSIS:
NOTES FROM THE WHISKEY is a character-driven serialized drama that follows the rise and fall (and rise again) of Max Walker, lead singer of the rock and roll band, “Riddle.”
Our series opens years earlier on the Sunset Strip, where Max and his band experience a life-altering event, brought upon by their devious manager. Max falls into a catatonic state and is institutionalized. Years later, still in the institution, Max happens to hear a song he wrote in the past on a television commercial. The sound of his music pulls him out of his catatonic state, and he is abruptly released into the City of Angels.
Max, now lucid, quickly discovers how radically the world around him has changed. His band has dispersed. Many of the locals he once knew have moved on. Hollywood has dramatically evolved, and the recording industry has been transformed.
In Season One, Max picks up the pieces of his life and begins to come to terms with his staggering loss. The heart-breaking news that Amy, the love of his life was killed, is particularly hard to come to terms with. She was not only the love of his life, but also his muse, and the foundation he was building his entire future around.
Little by little, Max rebuilds his band and navigates the confusing world of Hollywood. On his journey to understand what happened to him that fateful night, Max forms new friendships, lets go of old ones, and unexpectedly finds love. Ultimately, his painful search for meaning in his life becomes the inspiration for his long-awaited first album -- destined to be both his debut and comeback.
