Dystopia have burned up the European charts and now they're going to crack America. Their Vegas gig sold out in minutes, they're wall-to-wall on MTV and, best of all, the US Senate has condemned them.

But they're also self-destructing: Vid's addicted to drugs - all kinds of them. Spin just can't help having 'accidents' with hookers ... Jared thinks he's going slowly mad ... and Alex, the band's manager, is planning to betray them all.

Well - that's showbiz. But it's only when one of them dies that things really start to get messy...
