Billy Maguire is a young musician with big dreams, but also plenty of trepidation. In 1983, he begins to build connections in the music business and starts to gain traction in his career. Unfortunately, he gets caught in counterproductive behaviour such as substance abuse, relationships with fame-seeking women, and being taken advantage of by exploitative managers. Though, as Billy's fame grows and it seems that all of his dreams are within reach, suddenly everything turns upside down. Has success betrayed him or will Billy be able to turn thing around?
