What you see isn't necessarily what you hear.
In the age of music videos, the success and marketing of the next sexy superstar has little to do with actual singing talent. Such is the case with Sunni (Kari Wuhrer, Eight Legged Freaks, Anaconda), a young want-to-be superstar with an attitude, who is about to record her first album. Roger Deacon (Peter Outerbridge, Mission to Mars, Cool Runnings), is a one-time high flying producer who's popularity has gone downhill who thinks he can make it big again with this young sex kitten.
Despite Sunni's backing by a record company mogul, there's little Deacon can do to turn her tin ear into gold. While drowning his sorrows at a karaoke bar he stumbles upon Maggie Stanley (Gail O'Grady, TV's American Dreams, NYPD Blue), a young housewife who's more at home in the kitchen than behind a microphone. Maggie has an amazing voice and Deacon convinces her to lend her voice to what she believes is a demo tape. Maggie's voice is dubbed over Sunni's entire album. When the debut album rockets up the charts, not even the star singer is aware that her hit songs are actually the work of a suburban housewife. With the public clamoring for a live performance, the record company pushing "Sunni Mania", and Maggie getting wind of where her demos actually end up, this tangled mess just keeps getting worse with each effort to conceal the truth.
