Ulice kalifornského Comptonu boli jedným z najnebezpečnejších miest v Amerike. Práve tu, v mieste, ktorého život riadili drogové gangy a pravidelné policajné razie, sa narodila pätica chlapcov, ktorí odtiaľ dokázali vypadnúť. Svoju frustráciu a nenávisť a sa rozhodli vyjadriť spevom. Vytvorili žáner nazývaný,"gangsta rap" a skupinu N.W.A., ktorá patrí k najkontroverznejším hudobným zostavám histórie.
Tentoraz Chili (John Travolta) opúšťa nevyspytateľný filmový priemysel a vrhne sa do hudobnej branže, zapletie sa s ruskou mafiou, s rôznymi gangsterskými skupinami a ešte k tomu všetkému vezme pod ochranné krídla mladú a talentovanú speváčku Lindu Moonovou.
Film zachytáva tŕnistú cestu za slávou v podaní dievčenského tria Dreamettes. Curtis Taylor predáva autá, ale rád by sa presadil v hudobnom priemysle – túži po vlastnej nahrávacej spoločnosti a pesničkách, ktoré budú hrať tie najpočúvanejšie americké rádiá. Na lokálnej speváckej súťaži v Detroite stretáva tri dievčatá, ktoré by mu v splnení jeho sna pomôcť. Deena (Beyoncé) je nadpozemsky krásna, Effie(Jennifer Hudson) veľmi talentovaná a Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose)-dokonalý spojovací článok. Brána k úspechu sa im začne otvárať, keď dostanú ponuku spievať vokály v skladbách aktuálnej hviezdy Jamesa „Thunder“ Earlyho, ktorý účinne mieša rock´n´roll so soulovou muzikou. Čím ďalej ambicióznejší Curtis im ale zametá cestičku k vlastnej kariére. Otázka je, či cena, ktorú všetci traja za výstup na vrchol zaplatia, nebude predsa len privysoká.
