The next day, she learns that the man she saw has been beaten to death behind the venue - and her friend's widower Walter is being charged in connection with his murder.

When Walter refuses to defend himself, Gal wonders if he is guilty. As memories of the past begin to flood back, she starts her own investigation.

To uncover the truth, she must re-examine her own life, her perception of the past, and an industry with a dark underbelly.

But what she discovers may prove hard to swallow...

Hold Me Down is a gripping and dark tale of music, love and murder.
