As a major music star collapses on stage, he retreats to his father's farm with his wife in search of peace and anonymity. Torn between the image imposed upon him and the man he really is, he finally resigns himself to fame's demands, gaining some measure of peace through acceptance and understanding of his dual identity.

When a famous singer breaks down during a performance, he escapes to his dad's farm with his wife, hoping to find quiet and stay hidden from the world. Struggling between who people expect him to be and who he truly is inside, he eventually makes peace with being a celebrity, finding calm by accepting that he must live as both his public self and his real self.

Impressed by Jodie Barnes’ singing at a small country fair, press agent Craig Herbert signs him to a long-term contract with the promise he’ll make him a star.

But trouble begins when a manufacturer produces a Jodie Barnes singing doll that Jodie is certain will destroy both him and his career.
