Plot

Debi D'Angelo is the young songwriter/musician who joins a rock group and dreams of success - until she wakes up to the price she has to pay for success. Niles Dresden is the charming and treacherous rock star who is out to steal her heart and her music. All his brother Harry Spiros can do is to hang around and pick up the pieces when he commits suicide. While her life looks exciting and glamorous on stage, behind the scenes Debi is fighting for her father's love and approval. And at the same time, she is fighting a losing battle against the drugs that are claiming her brother's life. Finally, her hope and courage find their way into her music - and into the hearts of the audience who love her.
