Synopsis

A loud crash shook the house to its core, waking Nick Stark in the middle of the night. He finds his mother’s lifeless body in her car, which she had crashed into the front door of their home. Drunk and unconscious again, Nick, 16, is left to fend for himself, unsure of where he will sleep or go. Facing an uncertain future, he then learns the unthinkable: his father is Johnny Russo, from Johnny Russo and the Bandits, one of the biggest-selling bands of the 1980s, who are performing at Live Aid, the largest global concert broadcast worldwide on July 13, 1985, for famine relief in Ethiopia. Nick leaves his small town of Mineral Wells, Texas, on July 6, 1985, to find his father. Grabbing his Sony Walkman, tapes, and 10-speed bike, Nick must find his way to Philadelphia for the concert of a lifetime. Boarding a Greyhound bus in Fort Worth, Texas, he meets Stacy Rivera, 17, who is running toward her dream of becoming a singer in honor of her late mother. The journey proves daunting with many hurdles along the way. Will they make it to Live Aid? With a passionate foreword from David Uosikkinen, the drummer of The Hooters, the first band to perform in Philadelphia at Live Aid, Live Aid Runaways is based on a year’s worth of research to detail the concert’s 16 hours of performances and events.
