Country singer Leanna Taylor struggles to escape from her controlling manager/boyfriend Hank, as well as her troubled past. After turning to her guitarist Bobby, Leanna finally faces her past, including her estranged mother and the death of her father.
Through flashbacks, Leanna's father is shown to be an abusive and controlling man who would not allow Leanna to sing for anyone but himself, and once, viciously attacked a boy Leanna was playing with while, in the present, during this particular flashback, Hank attacks one of Leanna's musicians in a jealous rage. Leanna finds herself reliving painful memories of her controlling father, awakened by Hank's domineering behavior. In another flashback, Leanna's father threatens her after she hits him with a tire iron while he is physically abusing Leanna's mother. Leanna's mother eventually sent her off to Nashville where, free of her father, she joined a church choir.
In the end, Leanna is able to escape from Hank and reconcile with her mother before entering the studio to cut her first record. The film ends with Leanna singing "Blue Valley Songbird" in concert with Hank watching from the back of the room before leaving.
