John Norman Howard is a decrepit rock star who has given in to drug use and binge drinking, and as a result, his music has diminished. One night, John just happens to wander into a club where singer Esther Hoffman is performing. As their relationship progresses, John starts to let Esther steal the show at his concerts. Esther's singing, however, brings her acclaim and prosperity, while John's downward spiral persists.
