The film delves into a world of extraordinary people who have made the lead singer of Scandinavia's biggest entertainment band, Kandis, their own personal Jesus. It offers an honest account of Johnny’s private tragedy, which is deeply rooted in the lives of his dedicated fans. Shared stories of loss, loneliness and finding love again are revealed and it becomes clear that no one can rise to life's challenges alone.
