With her captivating voice and undeniable charm, Nan quickly rises through the ranks, becoming one of the most popular performers in London. But behind the glamour and applause, she must navigate the complex social landscape of the era, where female performers often faced prejudice and exploitation.

As Nan's fame grows, she falls head over heels for Kitty Butler, a beautiful and enigmatic fellow performer.
