Synopsis

Based on the novel of the same name, this show follows Jamie, an aspiring writer stuck in fact-checking, as he hides from pain and loss by partying in the drug-infested clubs of Manhattan during the 1980s.

The rock-n-roll score provides a robust sound that echoes Jamie's inner torment as he wanders aimlessly through the city's seedy party scene.

After losing his wife and job, Jamie spirals out of control.

Fortunately for him, the bonds of family and the promise of love are strong enough to intervene and provide a way out.

Bright Lights, Big City carries the message of hope for the future, no matter what is at present.
