At the age of seven, Janet's father, tough talking Joe Jackson, puts her to work in the family show.

After two unsuccessful albums and a failed marriage, Janet decides that if she's going to have a musical career, it will be on her own terms; she has to take control of her life.

Following the nipplegate controversy, Janet finds herself blacklisted. Refusing to accept defeat, friends and fans fight for her right to be recognized as a true performing legend.
