The journey of Midlands teenager Johanna Morrigan, who reinvents herself as Dolly Wilde: fast-talking, lady sex-adventurer, moves to London, and gets a job as music critic in the hope of saving her poverty stricken family in Wolverhampton. Based on Caitlin Moran's bestselling semi-autobiographical novel.
Can a manufactured pop persona survive the crushing weight of real-world debt and family expectations? This sharp look at the music industry follows a girl trading her quiet roots for a loud, rebellious identity in London.
