Summary	At nine years old, Frankie Presto is sent to America in the bottom of a boat, his only possession an old guitar and six precious strings. Frankie's ability is unique, and his amazing journey weaves him through the musical landscape of the twentieth century, with his stunning talent impacting upon numerous stars along the way, including Elvis Presley, Carole King and even KISS. Frankie becomes a pop star himself. He makes records. He is adored. But his gift is also his burden, as he realises: through his music, he can actually affect people's futures - with one string turning blue whenever a life is altered. Then, at the height of his popularity, Frankie Presto vanishes, and his legend grows. Only decades later does he reappear to change one last life...
