In the early 1970s, the twins are essentially purchased by a sleazy talent manager with plans to turn them into rock stars. The brothers form a pub rock band called the Bang Bang. As the band's success grows, a music journalist, Laura, follows the band writing an article. A romantic relationship develops between Laura and Tom, causing friction between the two brothers.
