Off Stage: Right

Off Stage: Set One Damian Learner and his grunge band, Firefly, are on a meteoric rise to success. If they get the right break, fame awaits. Seeking more professional management, Damian independently strikes a bargain with the best agent in the business, Stanley Krane. Unable to afford the penalty for breaking old contracts, Damian agrees when Stan's best friend, country and Western megastar Vance Ashcroft, offers to buy him out of his old contract. Overwhelmed by a crippling loan, secretive guilt, Stanley's expectations, and a volatile relationship with Lenny, Firefly's lead guitarist, Damian disintegrates. Bad habits of too much sex, booze, and drugs create a rift in the band. Finally Vance, with his understanding of Dominant/submissive behavior, sees that submissives Damian and Lenny are falling into chaos, clinging to each other to try to avoid the inevitable crash. When the pressure to perform becomes too much and the unthinkable happens, Damian and Lenny have to decide: accept that they need something they can't get from each other, or burn out and take Firefly with them. Vance is ready to claim Lenny, but even Stan's hesitant agreement to give Damian the direction he needs might not be enough for Damian—or the band—if he loses Lenny.
