In 1960s New York, Elly Solomon, a fierce, polio-surviving mother with no money and everything to lose, fights to build a safe haven for radical expression: the Café Au Go Go. As she battles censorship, betrayal, and a crumbling marriage, Elly carves out a stage that launches legends like Lenny Bruce, Jimi Hendrix, and Yoko Ono, and becomes a quiet revolutionary in the fight for artistic freedom.
