Daisy Jones, a young and wealthy girl in California, enters the music scene on the Sunset Strip to find belonging and attention. Her parents are disengaged, so she turns to drugs and unwanted relationships to fit in. She meets Simone Jackson, a future disco star and lifelong friend, who recognizes Daisy’s singing talent. Daisy often inspires the men she dates and dreams of making her mark in the music world. She eventually signs her first record deal.<\/p>\n

At the same time, two brothers from Pittsburgh, Billy and Graham Dunne, also turn to music to escape their troubled home life. They form the band “The Six” with other members. Billy falls in love with Camila Martinez, and they marry when the band gets a record deal. However, Billy’s fears of becoming a father lead him down a destructive path of drugs and infidelity. Camila gives him an ultimatum to clean up before their baby’s birth.<\/p>\n

As The Six goes on tour, Billy goes to rehab, returns to Camila, and writes a song for her with Daisy Jones. Daisy joins the band as an opening act, leading to her eventual inclusion as an official member. The band starts working on their next album, with Daisy demanding creative input. Tensions arise, but Billy and Daisy find success as songwriters. Meanwhile, Daisy’s substance use and partying cause her to miss recording sessions.<\/p>\n

Billy and Daisy’s close collaboration leads to romantic feelings, but when Daisy makes a move, Billy rejects her. In anger, Daisy writes a song about Billy. The band finishes recording and goes their separate ways before an upcoming tour. Karen becomes pregnant, leading to conflict with Graham. Daisy marries Niccolo Argento, whose influence worsens her substance abuse. She divorces him after a near-overdose incident.<\/p>\n

Karen has an abortion, leaving Graham heartbroken. Daisy starts using less and asks Billy for help in getting sober. Teddy, their producer, passes away. Daisy and Billy confess their love for each other but decide they can’t be together. Daisy and Camila have a heartfelt conversation, revealing that the author, Julia, is Camila’s daughter. Camila asks Daisy to leave, and she complies.<\/p>\n

Billy, devastated by Daisy’s departure, briefly breaks his sobriety but ultimately returns to Camila. The band members decide to disband: Daisy leaves, Pete gets married, Graham and Karen depart due to the abortion, and Eddie is upset with Billy. In the present day, Daisy shares that she got sober, adopted children, and is content with her life. Camila passes away at 63, leaving a note asking her daughters to reconnect Billy and Daisy and, at the very least, create a song together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The story is told through interviews and storytelling, and it looks at the challenges of love, creativity, and the music business.
