It's the waning days of the 1980s and Kurt Franklin, headman for Thunderstick, the"New Romantic" alt-rock band is signed to a major label and on the brink ofsuccess. Unfortunately he is also off his meds and convinced his songs and thegroup's imminent success are divinely ordained. In walks Sophie Clark, ateenage supermodel who dabbles in witchcraft. She finds respite from her ownfast and fierce education on the catwalks and casting couches in alove triangle that might rip the band apart. The parallel plots in Beforethe Flock, says Kirkus Reviews, "artfully converge into a blur of rock gigs, sex and expository melodrama--all depicted with pitch-perfect clarity."
