Synopsis:
A look at a woman struggling to find her own voice in the male-dominated world of music follows the journey of singer/songwriter Denise Waverly through the corridors of the Brill Building during the doo-wop heyday of the late fifties and into Malibu's psychedelic surfer scene of the late sixties. Along the way, Denise discovers why, as she is told at her very first singing competition, "it's a lot more fun singing a song you like than tryin' to please everybody."
