The New Rakes are known for the hot, dirty electro music they play in basement gigs all over the city, but lead singer Kara has ambitions beyond underground success. Fuelled by her sexy performances and the love/hate relationship with her guitarist Tam, the band is poised on the brink of stardom. And when Mike Greene, the charismatic head of a record company, offers The New Rakes a deal, it seems all their hopes are about to be realised.

 

But Kara and Mike have history - and this time he wants more than a professional relationship. Kara is seduced by his glamorous promises and despite the attempts of his manipulative ex-girlfriend, she becomes Mike's lover.

 

As she gets tangled in a web of sex, power and deceit, Kara learns the hard way what success really means. In the end, she may have to choose between the limelight and true love.
