The story begins with tired eyed freak rocker Danny Feedback facing upheaval: His life’s work, including priceless family heirloom instruments, like his one of a kind transparent luminescent guitar, have disappeared via an overnight heist. Unlike a typical breaking and entering, this crime is fueled by a personal vendetta which is evident by the ransacked music studio, and shrapnel from a couple destroyed artifacts that were obviously left behind to “send a message”.
