Sugar!

In a small town where politics and social norms collide, a middle-aged housewife named Leslie (Alice Ripley) dares to defy expectations by pursuing her long-held dream of becoming a rock 'n roll singer. Despite her husband's (Robert Clohessy) candidacy for public office and her daughter's (Leah Barker) impending departure for college, Leslie finds an unlikely outlet for her creativity and passion in a band of women who share her determination to succeed. As they work towards success, Leslie must confront the challenges of her traditional upbringing and confront her own desires, all while navigating the complexities of love, family, and ambition. With a soundtrack that rocks and a message that uplifts, Sugar! is a heartwarming tale of self-discovery and the power of music to bring people together.
