In the mid-60s, Janis Ian, a teenage singer-songwriter from New Jersey, scores a controversial hit single called "Society's Child," about an interracial love relationship. The song launches her illustrious career but also ignites death threats, plunging her into an emotional tailspin--only to emerge from the ashes in the 1970s with an even bigger hit, "At Seventeen," ahead of its time in confronting lookism and bullying. Janis overcomes significant obstacles--embezzlement, record industry misogyny, and heartbreak--to find love and produce an indelible body of searingly honest songs that earn her a devoted following and critical acclaim.
