A vibrant, tongue-in-cheek satire of pop culture and the music industry that celebrates female friendship and youthful authenticity while poking fun at celebrity manipulation and consumer culture.

Josie, Melody and Val are three small-town girl musicians determined to take their rock band out of their garage and straight to the top, while remaining true to their look, style and sound. They get a record deal which brings fame and fortune but soon realize they are pawns of two people who want to control the youth of America. They must clear their names, even if it means losing fame and fortune.
