Joshua Tree Will Be A Dream
Clint Khatib knows what it feels like to watch a dream vanish. Once celebrated as a New Age pianist, he saw his career collapse when the music industry turned to Grunge. But in the wake of a high-profile lawsuit and a chance reunion with his first love, Clint is ready for a fresh start. Together with Xander—the soulmate he thought he’d lost forever—he moves to Los Angeles, determined to reinvent himself as a film composer.
The city feels electric, alive with possibility. Clint throws himself into learning the craft from the ground up, drawing on his past as a performer while navigating Hollywood’s dazzling but ruthless world. Along the way, he meets eccentric neighbors in a converted funeral parlor, brushes up against strange mysteries, and discovers how much more there is to music—and to love—than he ever imagined.
But old insecurities die hard. Clint still wrestles with doubts about Xander’s fidelity, while Xander longs for open skies and the quiet beauty of the desert. LA feeds Clint’s ambition, yet the desert calls to Xander’s soul. Their opposing visions of home threaten to fracture the fragile magic of their reunion.
Set against the gritty-glamorous backdrop of 1990s Los Angeles, Joshua Tree Will Be A Dream is a story of second chances, artistic passion, and the timeless struggle to reconcile who we are with who we love. Can Clint and Xander bridge the distance between city lights and desert stars before it’s too late?
