The 1960s was the legendary era of rock and roll, and the rock dream became a hero who commanded all kinds of emotions such as sorrow, pity, awe, horror, ecstasy, pain... Under the fanatical belief in rock, the electric guitar girl Joan Jett with a rock dream With the help of the producer of Kingfrey Records, the sexy loli Cherie Kali, who likes David Bowie, was pulled into the band and formed a five-piece rock band "Escape Band" with a distinctive personality. However, in the star-making factory of the money empire, the rock girl characters who once escaped from their broken lives became the weapon to defeat and destroy them. Under the waves of disappointment, depression, alcohol, drugs, crazy fans, "Escape" disbanded. Cherie Carla chose a quiet life after quitting gambling and became a chain-carving artist; and Joan Jett formed a new band "Joan Jett and Black Heart", which was rejected by 23 mainstream record companies. After refusing, she released her own album, her first single, "I Love Rock and Roll," topped the charts and sold more than 10,000 copies, and she continued to make music and tour the world. During a radio promotion, Joan Jett received a call from Cherie Carley, a greeting that brought relief to both girls. Rock and roll is a way of life to escape bad situations, but it's not the only one. Because our lives must be experienced by us, we will all stare at the bottomless abyss beneath our feet, awake alone through the dark night of the soul, and experience the moment of solemn confrontation with fate.
