DARKENING SONG explores the complex, fragile bond between two young women as they ’re plunged into the whirling vortex of
fame; a teen star from Manchester failed by the music industry which made her an idol and her ambitious manager, forced to
make an impossible choice between friendship and power. Fiercely feminist and perfect for fans of DAISY JONES & THE SIX and
EUPHORIA, it’s a beautifully crafted story about friendship and betrayal, a love story and a story about trauma, but more than
anything it’s a story about hope, and how dreams can come true in ways we least expect.

Themes: Found family, feminism, identity, music, coming of age, fame, power dynamics, mental health, trauma and recovery.
Comps: DAISY JONES & THE SIX, EUPHORIA (Sam Levinson/HBO)
