Se basant sur des comptes-rendus véridiques, documentés lors de l'enquête en 1969, le film aborde le scandale et les événements mystérieux qui entourent la mort de Mary Jo Kopechne, l'ancienne directrice de campagne de Robert Kennedy, survenue après que Ted Kennedy eut perdu la maîtrise de sa voiture sur le tristement célèbre Dike Bridge (État du Massachusetts). Cet événement a non seulement coûté la vie à une future stratège politique proche de Kennedy, mais elle a en fait changé le cours de l'histoire présidentielle, en amenant au grand jour les rouages intimes du pouvoir politique, l'influence de la plus célèbre famille des États-Unis, ainsi que la fragilité de Ted Kennedy, le fils cadet accusé d'avoir laissé mourir Mary Jo Kopechne, dans l'ombre de son héritage familial.

Jennie Lee (Justine Bateman) is the lead singer of an all-girl rock band in Baltimore named The Mystery. At her high school graduation, Jennie gives her valedictorian speech at the ceremony while fellow band member, bass guitarist Daryle (Julia Roberts) is accepting a marriage proposal from her high school sweetheart Frankie. Jennie and the band are planning to go to Florida to audition for a gig at the beach for the summer. However problems seem to plague their plans when, first Jennie’s older brother (and caretaker) doesn’t want to let Jennie go because he feels it will dissuade her from continuing her college plans; second, the band’s keyboardist has unexpectedly left the band, and third, Mooch (the drummer) insulted a gang member who then in turn destroyed the band's van. Mooch (Trini Alvarado) tells the band that she borrowed another van from her friend but in fact, assisted by the help of guitarist Billie (Britta Phillips), stole the gang member's personal van. After recruiting a male keyboard player Nickie (Scott Coffey), the band heads south to audition for the gig. Arriving at the nightclub after closing hours, the band fears they have missed their audition. Not wanting to have to return, the band finds the owner Martin Falcon’s (Liam Neeson) home address and decide to make him listen to them play. However, when they arrive at his beach house, they let themselves in and find Falcon is not home. They do find Hamlet, Falcon’s pet Doberman Pincher dog, who, after Billie sings him a song, becomes fast friends with the band. Falcon arrives, drunk and assumes the band are thieves. Explaining who they are, Jennie pleads with Falcon to listen to their music, but Falcon informs them that they are in fact a day early, the auditions for the gig isn’t until the next night. Having very little money and no place to stay, Falcon offers them the room that the winners are supposed to be staying at for the summer. The “room” turns out to be a tool shack with room enough for 5 beds. The next night, the band auditions and the overwhelming applauding crowd response convinces Falcon to hire the band for the summer.
