Bringing women out from the shadows of music history. Familiar characters, new perspectives.
Jenny Boyd & Mick Fleetwood
One of the ‘IT’ girls of Swinging London reconnects with her high school classmate, a talented drummer, striving to succeed.

Once Fleetwood Mac finally hits big and Mick slides into fame and drugs, Jenny has to confront her own patterns of codependency.
