Just as Mattie is learning how to balance her work schedule between family, friends, and school, the town erupts in turmoil over the type of music Tommy is playing—rock n’ roll. A group of angry citizens conspires to keep the radio station off the air, while Mattie and her boss do their best to keep the station afloat.

As the situation escalates, Mattie finds herself at the forefront of a grassroots movement to defend free speech rights. How far will the townspeople go to stop the music? How far will Mattie go to make a stand for what she believes in?
