The True Story of Butterfish

Curtis Holland is a former rockstar and current neighbor just trying to find some balance in routine. But his father is sick, his brother is obsessed with fitness and see-through shirts, his former bandmate is always on the front page of the most current tabloids, and his neighbor is a teenage girl still in school but with a crush the size of the Outback and a voice Curtis thinks could be just the thing the song he is producing needs.


Curtis is used to his brother Patrick and his bandmate Derek. He grew up with the former and toured the world with the latter.


His teenage neighbor Annaliese is an extraordinary, talented, beautiful girl. Curtis never anticipated her talent or her feelings. He didn't anticipate a lot of things, but he's going to learn.
