- Summary:
- The 1980s London punk scene is captured in a new-wave musical with a poignant rags-to-riches story of a talented and rebellious young singer-songwriter. Kate is the lead singer of the rock group Breaking Glass. Her socialist ideals are juxtaposed with her pragmatic rock manager, Danny, a streetwise hustler who discovers her and develops her into a star. As Kate struggles for artistic recognition, her talent and sanity are jeopardized by the music business's power structure.
