Lorraine Carter lives a quiet, contemptuous life in the mundane suburbs of Lincoln. She is restless, discontented and dreams of what once was and what could have been. Having once lived on the road, gigging as the lead singer in a punk band, Lorraine was a real rock star, or came close to being one. With the band's burgeoning dreams being cut short, and life sweeping her forward, Lorraine's life as a proud punk-rocker seemed over. Swapping punk for a nine-to-five, and the microphone for motherhood, Lorraine watched from the margins as her life sped by. Beaten, forgotten, and belittled by the world around her, Lorraine grows tempestuous. She yearns to reclaim her creative identity, to express herself and to fight for what she believes in. She prepares to come to terms with her past, to overcome her fears, and to take the stage once again. With a microphone in hand, she sings a simple phrase. Keep the faith, it’s all we’ve got.
