It's the early 1960s in Detroit. Curtis Taylor, Jr., a car salesman, breaks into the music business with big dreams. He signs a trio of young women, the Dreamettes, and gets them a job backing an R&B performer, James "Thunder" Early. When Early flames out, Curtis makes the Dreamettes into headliners as the Dreams. However, he demotes their hefty big-voiced lead singer, Effie White, and puts the soft-voiced looker, Deena Jones, in front. Soon after, he fires Effie, which sends her into a life of poverty, and takes Deena and the Dreams to the top. How long can Curtis stay there, and will Effie ever get her due?
