Since she was a little girl, Iris Cooper has loved nothing more than singing. At the age of twelve, she began to move from city to city, from stage to stage with her father. Life with him is not easy, but even after she can free herself, she does not come to rest: her new manager mercilessly exploits her. The musicians and singers who accompany her on tour become Iris' surrogate family and finally give her the courage to break out and the strength to defy all odds and follow her dream - even when tragedy changes her view of life and love forever.
