Recent graduate Jennie Lee (Justine Bateman) is the lead singer of her band Mystery. Mooch (Trini Alvarado) is the drummer. Billy (Britta Phillips) is the wild lead guitarist. Bassist Daryle (Julia Roberts) gets a marriage proposal. The girls are trying to play at the beach for the summer. Their pianist is in jail and Jennie picks up classical pianist neighbor Nickie (Scott Coffey). They audition and get a gig at producer Martin Falcon (Liam Neeson)'s beach nightclub.
The songs are standards. The performing is functional. Having a real musician helps but they are generally limited. It's amazing to see Roberts and Neeson as well as 80's stars Bateman and Alvarado. The plot is straight forward and bland. The writing is relatively weak. The acting is functional. If this is a star vehicle for Bateman, it needs a tune up. She never could make that jump from TV to movies.
