Cherry Sour is once again left alone in a world that is constantly proving her how violent and dangerous it is to be on your own. She had no friends nor family until she met Johnny, the lead singer of the glam rock band "The Pink Flamingos". They were together for the wrong reasons, they had never experienced LOVE before, and their dreams were destroyed.
But now he's gone. We'll get to know the story of Cherry in the only place where she's got a spotlight: a police interrogatory room, after pledging guilty for the death of the rockstar. Did she kill him? This is her only chance to tell her story out loud.
A story about love, abandonment, and lots of glam songs!
