Episode 1 of 6

Frazzled by demanding jobs, chaotic families and endless spinning plates, five women’s worlds smash together when they form a punk rock band to enter a local talent contest.

In a quiet house, Beth Thornton - burnt out and on the brink - prepares to end it all, when an unexpected phone call changes everything. Jess Burchill assembles an unlikely crew of sassy women to form a punk rock band for a local talent contest. Holly Gaskell, a police officer, arrests chaotic Kitty Eckersley, who might just prove to be the missing ingredient the band - and suicidal Beth - needs.
