Brooke loved reading the dishy celebrity gossip rag Last Night.
That is, until her marriage became a weekly headline.Brooke was drawn to the soulful, enigmatic
Julian Alter the very first time she heard him perform 'Hallelujah' at a dark East Village dive
bar. Now five years married, Brooke balances two jobs - as a nutritionist at NYU Hospital and
as a consultant to an Upper East Side girls' school, where privilege gone wrong and disordered
eating run rampant - in order to help support her husband's dream of making it in the music
world. Things are looking up when after years of playing Manhattan clubs and toiling as an A&R
intern, Julian finally gets signed by Sony. Although no one's promising that the album will ever
hit the airwaves, Julian is still dedicated to logging in long hours at the recording studio.
All that changes after Julian is asked to perform on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno - and is
catapulted to stardom, literally overnight. Amazing opportunities begin popping up almost daily -
a new designer wardrobe, a tour with Maroon 5, even a Grammy performance.At first the newfound
fame is fun - who wouldn't want to stay at the Chateau Marmont or visit the set of one of
television's hottest shows? Yet it seems that Brooke's sweet husband - the man who can't handle
hot showers and wears socks to bed - is increasingly absent, even on those rare nights they're
home together. When rumors about Brooke and Julian swirl in the tabloid magazines, she begins
to question the truth of her marriage and is forced to finally come to terms with what she
thinks she wants - and what she actually needs.
