Description: Roxy May Redding's got music in her soul and songs in her blood. She lives in a small, hot, dusty town and she's dreaming big. When she gets the chance to study music in the big city, she takes it. In Roxy's new life, her friends and her music collide in ways she could never have imagined. Being a poor student sucks ... singing for her dinner is soul destroying ... but nothing prepares Roxy for her biggest challenge. Her crush on Ana, the local music journo, forces Roxy to steer through emotions alien to this small-own girl. Family and friends watch closely as Roxy takes a confronting journey to find out who she is.
