Morgan is hopeful but then disappointed when he learns that the only reason he is home is to fulfill his father's campaign manager Jay Le Soto's (Paul Gleason) ploy to make Tom look like his life is family oriented.

Genre: Drama
Director: Michael Paseornek
Cast: James Marshall, Christina Applegate, Faye Grant, Paige Turco, Scott Cohen, Bruce Altman, David Burke, Steven Keats, Virginia Sandifur, Shane Butterworth, Robert Sedgwick, Rob Bogue
Up-and-coming rock star T.J. (James Marshall) has the jolt of a lifetime: he loses both his hands when drunken hoodlums attack him. Unable to deal with his fate, he turns his back on family and girlfriend and becomes a self-pitying, drunken bum. But things change when he meets Anamika (Christina Applegate), who introduces him to a variety of friends who start him on the road to recovery. One of the friends, Geek (David Burke), is a computer whiz and fixes him up with sound-sensitive fingers as well as providing him with a new persona–Cyberstorm. Fame comes quickly, and he is able to not only get revenge on the hoods, but to make up with family and friends. Good premise, but not-so-good execution.
