Lily Lawlor formed a punk band with Drake Morgan in 1998. Drake inspired devotion in some people and terror in others. Lily believed in him completely. Their Battle of the Bands performance in 1999 ended with one death and a riot that killed three teenagers. Ten years later, at the peak of her fame, Lily walked into a police station and confessed to murder. The band members have stayed silent about the riot, Lily's confession, and everything else for over a decade. Now Lily has agreed to speak. The other band members will follow her lead. Their story involves prophecy, death, and apocalypse. It centers on love and heartbreak. It concerns the antichrist. The truth of their account remains unclear, but this is what they claim happened.
