Laura arrives as conventional Gladys to see the show of the famous wild female rock star the shes impassioned about. By accident she ends up on the stage and is confronted with the audience before her. Slowly, but surely she begins to like being up there in the lights and looses control of her middle- aged nicely kept self as she becomes possessed the ancient spirit of our sister Janis Joplin.
