When the One Direction of the time\, DuJour discovers this\, their manager\, Wyatt Frame\, under his evil\, corrupt boss\, Fiona\, has the plane they are flying in crashed and him looking for a new band to use for their evil schemes. Enter Josie\, Melody\, and Valerie\, from Josie and the Pussycats\, a small band who wants to make it to the big time. When they are discovered by Wyatt\, they give in and become big rock stars. But will they find out that they are just pawns for the record industry or will fame take them over? \nDoors 17:30 / Film starts 18:00
