Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, two rebellious teenagers from Southern California, become the frontwomen for the Runaways -- the now-legendary group that paved the way for future generations of female rockers. Under the Svengali-like influence of impresario Kim Fowley, the band becomes a huge success.

The over-medicated, addicted, and misdiagnosed generation of today.

Based on the comic book/graphic novel by Alejandro Jodorowsky.
