Monique har det ikke så bra for tiden. Ektemannen har forlatt henne, og karrieren som reporter har gått i stå. Da den glamorøse Hollywood-stjernen Evelyn Hugo kontakter henne og vil at Monique skal skrive ned hennes livs historie, kunne ingen blitt mer overrasket enn Monique selv. Hvorfor har Evelyn Hugo valgt henne? Fast bestemt på å redde sin karriere treffer hun skandaledronningen og hører henne fortelle om livet i Los Angeles på 50-tallet og helt frem til hun valgte å forlate rampelyset på slutten av 80-tallet. Mens Evelyn forteller om skruppelløs ambisjon, uventet vennskap, og en stor, forbudt kjærlighet, begynner Monique å utvikle et sterkt bånd til skuespillerinnen. Men samtidig som deres vennskap vokser seg sterkere, innser Monique at det faktisk var en grunn til at Evelyn tok kontakt med nettopp henne. Og at det kan komme til å knuse henne.

Alle kjenner til Daisy Jones & The Six, men ingen vet hvorfor bandet splittet opp på høyden av sin karriere. Ikke før nå. Daisy er en jente som vokser opp i L.A. på slutten av 60-tallet, som sniker seg inn på utestedene på Sunset Strip, ligger med rockestjerner og drømmer om å synge på The Whisky a Go Go. Det er spennende med sex og narkotiske stoffer, men det er rock'n'roll hun elsker mest. Da hun blir tjue, blir hun endelig oppdaget, både på grunn av stemmen og det slående vakre utseendet. Andre som får oppmerksomhet, er The Six, bandet som ledes av den lunefulle Billy Dunne. Underveis på deres første turne, får han vite at kjæresten Camila er gravid, og dette takler han dårlig midt oppi den nyvunne berømmelsen. Daisy og Billys veier møtes da en produsent innser at nøkkelen til verdensherredømme, er å la disse to lage musikk sammen. Det som da skjer, blir legendarisk. Kommer snart som en Amazon TV-serie, der Reese Witherspoon er co-produsent.
