Ricki, a guitar heroine who gives up everything for her dream of rock n' roll stardom, now returns home to make things right with her family.

Domineering maestro Leopold exerts a Svengali-like control over Myra, a talented young pianist. Frustrated by Leopold's domineering nature, the girl abandons her professional career and marries a humble farmer. Years later, haunted by regret, Myra returns to face her former mentor, to prove that she was, and continues to be, a better musician than he ever credited her with being.
