    Feature

For Alice, an ex-model and struggling actress, for Charlie, a sweet and gifted musician who has lost all control of his life; and for Felix, with nothing in his head and a teenage girlfriend whom he's been trying to leave since the moment they met...the choices are endless and the party never stops. But beauty and privilege are both skin-deep and you can't let life go on happening to you forever. Alice, Charlie and Felix are in free fall, irresistibly lovely but utterly self-destructive, hurtling towards events that will overwhelm their fragile friendships and even destroy their lives.
