Summary

A young man (Prince) with a talent for music has begun a career with much promise. He meets an aspiring singer, Apollonia, and finds that talent alone isn't all that he needs. A complicated tale of his repeating his father's self destructive behaviour, losing Apollonia to another singer (Morris Day), and his coming to grips with his own connection to other people ensues.
