A trio of struggling actresses—Q, Dee, and Anna—decide to audition for the West End play Broadway Annie, a nostalgic indulgence of its director. The show flops, despite a last-ditch effort by its producer to update it and make it raunchier. The three women, from different personalities and backgrounds, are drawn together by their shared catastrophe. The show's musical director, Derek Huggin, tells them they should form a rock band, with him as manager and songwriter.
