Turn on, tune in drop dead - June, 1967. In San Francisco, the summer of love is in full swing. In fact, it's about to hit its highest moment - or its lowest. Reporter Rennie Stride is covering the Monterey Pop Festival, where her two best friends will be appearing along with rock titans: Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, the Byrds, the Mamas & the Papas. And sharing the spotlight with blazing new comets: Janis Joplin, Jim Hendrix, Otis Redding, the Who - But not far from Monterey, an anti-festival is also happening - Big Magic. As both events unfold, Rennie encounters old friends and new enemies. And when people start turning up dead in the psychedelic crossfire, she goes looking for justice - or vengeance - for them all.
