Description

Is Harlow Hayes an innocent popstar or a heartless murderer?

It's time to find out...

I’m a global sensation adored by millions, and my star only seems to keep rising. My fans say I speak directly to them through my music, that I know who they are. How else could I write such visceral, personal lyrics? They love me, and I love them right back.

Then, at the height of my fame, I was arrested on suspicion of murder. The world thinks they know who I am. But they have no idea.
