Summary:
With the Beatles, John Lennon surpassed his youthful dreams, achieving a level of superstardom that defies classification. Marc David Chapman was the original Nowhere Man, who once worshiped his idols from afar, but came to harbor grudges against those whom he felt had betrayed him--like Lennon. In the summer of 1980, Lennon is energized, recording new music for the first time in years; At the same time, Chapman has become obsessed with murdering his former hero. He quits his security job in Hawaii, signing out as "John Lennon" and boards a flight to New York, with a handgun in his luggage. Enriched by exclusive interviews with Lennon's friends and associates, including Paul McCartney, this is a true-crime drama about two men who changed history. One whose indelible songs enliven our world to this day--and the other who ended the beautiful music with five pulls of a trigger.
