“What’s it about?” “Falling in love...” “You wrote a book about falling in love?” “Yeah… well… it seemed like a good idea at the time. And you know I’ve written others, so what’s with the disbelieving look?” “Just unexpected is all.” ***** Twenty-two, and famous – in the blink of an eye.

Life in the fast lane... Screaming fans... Bright lights... Fame... And all the pressure that comes with them. "So... are there any musicians in here?" A simple question, asked one afternoon in a rural high school music room. A few days later, six kids answer it. A year later, they are the biggest thing in pop music. Go figure? Join Martin, Misty, Joshua, Ariel, Rhyan, and Vanessa - known to the world as RANSOM - as they go from small-town Kansas, to filling 15,000 seat arenas, and ultimately, to the stage at the Grammys - twice. Tag along as these six amazingly talented friends show the world that fame can be achieved without losing one's roots, and that being driven and passionate, can turn 'life in the fast lane' into the 'journey of a lifetime'.
Ever want to be famous? They didn't. It just sorta happened. Playing for friends at a pizzeria one day – full-on, massive world tour the next. Insane to a power of ten. Then, right in the middle the madness, they crash and burn. The reality of life is – stuff happens… Now, their fans are asking – what is it going to take to get pop music's latest 'phenomenon' back together? Can it even be done? In the fast paced, high-pressure world that is pop music, will their passion be enough to ensure that our five accidental superstars will find their way back to doing what they were so amazingly good at? This is a story of unimaginable gain, devastating loss, and the remarkable ability of five friends, to overcome it all...
Three monumental CDs... Three consecutive sold-out world tours... One of the biggest fan bases pop music has ever seen... And they simply disappeared. The music world watched in disbelief, as the members of 'the biggest pop band around' simply went on about their lives. For two years, they travel their own paths of discovery, and each eventually finds what they are searching for... Then, at 2:00 am, on a cool British morning, the lead singer finds the catalyst that will draw the five of them back together... Words hastily scribbled in big red heart, and taped to a door... “Take Cadi, go find Stanley and the others, and MAKE MUSIC! It's your destiny, girl. It's their destiny. It always has been...”
Four Platinum selling CDs... Three complete world tours... Thirteen years later, Audio Distortion has acquired a fan base that now spans generations. Stanley, Emma, Cadi, Willie, and Emily are now ready to pass the torch to the next generation of musicians, and to go quietly about their lives, out of the spotlight. Then, a simple question, asked by a fellow musician, sets in motion the beginnings of what will become known as, the 'tour of the decade'. Audio Distortion AND Ransom - together in the same show? One hundred twenty-five days... Twelve carefully selected venues... Twenty-seven individual shows... Three quarters of a million passionate fans... And it all culminates in one big show, on what many consider one of the most important stages in music... Red Rocks Amphitheater... The single, crystal clear point, everyone understands after it's all over is... To be the best... It is... And always has to be... ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC! Ready for the next stage in the adventure?

Having found their way back to music and their friendships, each member of Audio Distortion develops their own ways of dealing with 'being famous' and 'living in the spotlight' for six years. This is the story of how our five accidental superstars find ways to balance 'famous' and 'normal' in their daily lives. It's also the story of how Audio Distortion comes to an end...
