Richie Roberts was just another talented kid on the Chicago circuit-until a chance, late-night encounter with Jimi Hendrix changed everything. With a few cryptic words from the legend himself, Richie became a man possessed. He stopped playing for the crowds and started playing for a ghost: the Perfect Note.
But perfection demands a price.
In this visceral account of artistic devotion, see how Roberts systematically dismantled his life to clear the noise for his masterpiece. From the loss of his family and the bridges burned in the Chicago blues scene to his final days of beautiful, isolated poverty, Roberts' journey explores the thin line between creative genius and total self-destruction.
