Summary
MICHAEL JACKSON never searched for love; at 24, he found intimacy in his craft. The one thing that satisfied him when nothing else could. But what his craft demanded sated him sometimes, and an outlet became necessary when the fine line between art and work blurred. So his disguised trips to Phonograph became a much-needed release that he kept to himself and clutched tightly.
The woman who stood behind the counter most days of the week had his attention instantly. His eyes lingered prudently from beneath the Ray-Bans with silent admiration. But there was no more room for shy regard when she finally approached, completely unsuspecting until he said all the wrong things. She wasn't only breathtaking—she was casual about his presence, almost unimpressed by his status. She let him exist in this rare state of peace. That only made her all the more remarkable; he had to take his chance.

Summary
Late 1985, early 1986.
For Helena Mastroianni, the city of stars holds no cinematic magic.
At twenty-four, her roots are split between the olive groves of Italy and the sun-drenched coasts of Spain, but her present is confined to an office at Epic Records and a suitcase overflowing with stop-motion mockups and miniature worlds.
Helena is... strange.
A mind that only seems to understand fantasy, handmade creatures, and tiny fabricated universes.
While trying to prove to her family that she will not return home empty-handed, her path collides - quite literally - with the most famous man on the planet.
Michael Jackson is in the middle of a creative storm. He is searching for something different, something that pushes beyond the limits of what people expect from his "mini movies."
When he meets Helena, he does not find another obedient fan or the fragile girl the world constantly assumes he wants.
He finds a woman who is expressive, stubborn, unapologetically herself - wrapped in a dark, distinctly European kind of elegance that fascinates him instantly.
Michael finds something almost impossible:A real friend...or more than friend.

Summary
"I was so lonely that I used to walk through my neighborhood hoping I'd run into somebody I could talk to and perhaps become friends with. I wanted to meet people who didn't know who I was. I wanted to run into somebody who would be my friend because they liked me and needed a friend too, not because I was who I am. I wanted to meet anybody in the neighborhood..."
- Michael Jackson (Moonwalk, 1988)In which Michael finally gets his wish on a random walk around his neighborhood.

Summary
When Midorii Madeline Takemura came into the world, no one assumed her life would turn out this way. Growing up in the shadow of family expectations, tradition, and preordained roles, she was meant to be just another obedient piece in a perfect puzzle. Fate, however, had other plans. Her desire for freedom and her own voice hurled her into the brutal world of show business, a place where the glare of the spotlights can blind you, and every attempt to be yourself becomes a fight for survival.
On the other hand, when Michael Jackson stood on stage as a child, the world saw a wunderkind born to change the history of music. Yet, few noticed that beneath the mask of genius and a flawless smile lay a man trapped in the golden cage of his own fame. Condemned to constant judgment, hounded by the media, and stripped of his privacy.
In these two tragic, pain-filled stories, no one could have predicted that amidst the blinding flash of cameras and omnipresent falsehood, two such vastly different stars would see in each other something more than just a media image. In a world that feeds on their suffering, will they manage to find sanctuary? Or will the destiny that brought them together prove to be their greatest curse?
