Bryan and Paul Johnson

ONE WILL RISE

At the breakout moment of his music career, Solomon "Sal" Stein holds visions of success for the near future. He is brought into the family of IXI "One By One" Records, the hottest label in Detroit and nationwide. But not everything is glitter and gold the deeper Sal gets into the world of IXI. Obscure messages, pushy corporate reps who want to buy his house, and the beginnings of a new relationship are pulling him in too many directions. And, after the unthinkable happens, and Sal thinks he's found the one person with all the answers, he learns that there's always another side of the story. Will Sal get what he's looking for, or will he lose everything at the hands of those he thought he could trust?
