Jennie Lee (Justine Bateman) is an orphan and high school honor student who dreams of a career in rock 'n' roll. During the summer after her graduation, she and her band head for the seaside where they are hired as the house band in a beach club. Over the course of the summer, the band
members are forced to deal with drugs, rich snobs, success, and Bateman's love for the much older club owner (Liam Neeson). Strangely, this film starts out as something of a depiction of rebellious, alienated teens, then quickly degenerates into a silly immitation of a 60s "Beach Party" movie.
Irish-born Neeson is good, but that only serves to highlight the ineptitude of those around...
