A cautionary melodrama about three women's descent into addiction and self-destruction amid the glittering, hollow promises of 1960s show business.

Lured by their dreams of fame and fortune, three ambitious young women enter the world of show business and discover how easy it is to sink into a celebrity nightmare of ego, alcohol and pills — the beloved "dolls."
