The early years of The Beatles come to life in this dramatic retelling of their time in Hamburg, Germany.

In the early days of their career, the Beatles venture to Hamburg's underground clubs in pursuit of stardom. Amidst the city's vibrant beatnik scene, they cross paths with Astrid Kircherr, a stylish and alluring German artist who captures the heart of Stuart Sutcliffe, the band's bassist. As Sutcliffe navigates his feelings for Astrid, his best friend John Lennon is forced to confront the possibility of his friend leaving the band to start a new life in Germany, all while the allure of rock 'n roll music hangs in the balance.
