Emotionally neglected and yearning for affection she'd never receive, Julia built walls around her heart and accepted a bitter truth: some people simply weren't made to be loved. Music became her escape. Performing in bars and clubs, she poured her pain into songs, never expecting anything more from life than the stage beneath her feet. Until one fatal night changes everything. A tragic accident shatters Julia's world and awakens her in an impossible place-a glamorous birthday celebration on August 29, 1987. She's face to face with the most celebrated artist on the planet: Michael Jackson, the King of Pop himself.

But as she navigates this glittering past, she discovers something she never thought possible: perhaps her heart wasn't broken beyond repair. Perhaps some people are worth learning to love for. Will Julia be able to rewrite his story?
