What happens when you secretly pay someone to romance your Mom?

An alien intending to claim Earth for his people before their homeworld is destroyed by a comet decides not to eliminate humanity when he hears their music. Instead, he lives among them until another alien is sent to find and kill him.

这出背景设定在1970年代纽约的HBO全新戏剧影集， 由大导演马丁史柯西斯、滚石乐团主唱米克杰格及知名编剧兼制作人特伦斯温特连手打造。本片透过巴比康纳维尔所饰演的唱片公司总裁里奇范斯特拉之眼，在他努力不毁灭任何人的情况下，拯救公司和自身灵魂的过程中，看尽充斥着性与毒品的音乐产业的百态。
