Inspired by the iconic punk scene of the late ‘70s, No Names blurs the lines of affection and sexuality in a haunting tale of desire, hope, and loss.Mike and Pete were "no names," two working-class boys lost in the shuffle of their stratified town, brought together by their love of music. By 1978, their punk band was blazing across the underground scene. Now in 1993, Mike is a hermit living alone on a dot of an island in the North Atlantic. When a mysterious letter from an unlikely fan named Isaac arrives, he's pulled right back into the pain he’s spent over a decade running from.Isaac longs for an escape from his lonely teenage life. A chance discovery of the No Names’ only album catapults him into obsession over the god-like rockers and the tantalizing possibility of connection. As their stories collide in a tangled web, mistakes breed consequences that echo through the decades like the furious reverberations of a power chord. Show more
