Theo arrives at a dive bar to find the Future Saints bombing their set. The band has spiraled downward since losing their manager in a tragedy. Theo's job is simple: extract one last successful album from them or cut them loose from the label. Hannah, the band's headstrong lead singer, surprises everyone by performing an entirely new song with a fresh sound. Theo feels an immediate attraction to her boldness and talent. The new musical direction wins over audiences and expands their fanbase beyond expectations. The label green lights a tour, a new record, and a complete relaunch. But Hannah remains trapped in her grief over their dead manager. She refuses to move forward despite the promise of stardom and Theo's growing feelings for her. The band's success hangs in the balance as Hannah wrestles with letting go of the past.
