Jack knows he’s lying to her. The real reason why he wants to stay at home is another: he knows he has to control him to prevent him from falling back into the temptation of alcohol. Maine is still too fragile to start a new life and one evening, while Ally is away for a concert, she decides to change everything.
A star is born It’s based on a true story?
