   Summary

   When Eddie’s bassist breaks his wrist right before Corroded Coffin’s first big tour he’s forced to turn to desperate measures. Namely: hiring Steve Harrington, a former industry golden boy who’s since fallen from grace, stopped recording, and vanished from the limelight entirely. Eddie’s never met Steve, but he knows he’ll hate him. He’s heard all the rumors about the guy. He knows Steve’s type — preppy, arrogant, nepo-baby asshole.

   Doesn't he?
