Charlene

In this fictional tale, it is the mid-1970s, and Joan Jett of The Runaways has gone crazy, according to the other members of the all-girl rock band. Unpopular among the male dominated rock 'n' roll industry, Joan impulsively buys a 1958 Fender Stratocaster, which she names Charlene. Joan develops an unhealthy obsession for the guitar, to the alarm of her bandmates, lead guitarist Lita Ford and bassist Jackie Fox in particular. Joan had always been a rhythm guitarist, but now she miraculously develops insane lead guitar skills that puts Lita's skills to shame. Furthermore, Charlene begins to attract bad boys who chase after Joan. When the boys try to destroy the guitar, intimidated by Joan's skill, the guitar restores itself to perfect condition and begins incapacitating them. Determined to stop the carnage, Lita and Jackie try to make Joan come to her senses before she can become a monster... all the while trying to convince drummer Sandy West and lead vocalist Cherie Currie to support them.
