The band is formed when five local women try and win a talent competition in Hebden Bridge. However, writing their first song makes them realise that music could mean a lot more to them than impressing a half-full village hall. Instead, the quintet begins to see just how much they have to say, and how they want to say it.

Eventually, though, a secret threatens to bubble to the surface, and ruin everything.
