A poignant biographical portrait of Judy Garland's final London performances, balancing the warmth of her artistry and connections with the melancholy of addiction and decline.

Thirty years after starring in 'The Wizard of Oz', beloved actress and singer Judy Garland arrives in London to perform sold-out shows at the Talk of the Town nightclub. While there, she reminisces with friends and fans and begins a whirlwind romance with musician Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband.
