But their worldwide success doesn't last long. The parties, planes, drugs and girls soon take their toll. Lifelong friends become overnight enemies; Michael pulls a knife on Garry Beers, record sales fall, best mates fight and the band's manager leaves. Michael finds a new love, Paula Yates, and starts a running battle with the British tabloid press.

They just have to convince Michael to come home and do what they do best -- play live. It's November 22, 1997 and INXS are rehearsing at the ABC studios in Sydney for their upcoming tour. Michael is late - he is always late. But then the phone rings and INXS will never be the same...
