Plot summary[]
Present Day: Billy Dunne, Graham Dunne, Eddie Roundtree, Karen Sirko, and Warren Rojas, take seats at their respective homes, ready to begin the documentary.
On October 4, 1977, Daisy Jones & The Six performed to a sold-out crowd at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. They were one of the biggest bands in the world at the time, fresh off their award-winning, multi-platinum selling album, “Aurora”. It would be their final performance. In the 20 years since members of the band and their inner circle have refused to speak on the record about what happened… Until now.
Billy asks if Daisy also agreed to this. Daisy takes a seat in a recording studio. Daisy isn't sure where to begin, so the interviewer prompts her to begin at the beginning. When she first fell in love with music.
Jonah Berg remarks that the interesting thing about Daisy is that she was born with every advantage. Her father's money, her mother's beauty. She had anything and everything at her disposal and yet, she was completely alone.
In Los Angeles, 1961, a young Daisy sings loudly in her room with her headset on. A sophisticated party is happening in the house, and her parents become annoyed at the sound of singing. Her mother storms into her room and unplugs the radio, angrily asking if she ever shuts up. People gather around the doorway, so she lowers her tone to warn that no one wants to hear her voice. She leaves and jokes that Daisy was put on this earth to embarrass her. By 1968, Daisy is a teenager and visits Whisky A Go Go. She goes around back and bums a cigarette from an older boy, who is called back inside for showtime. He unknowingly leaves the door partly open, so she follows him inside. She sees the band performing onstage and stares.
The same record plays as a young Billy Dunne practices his guitar in Pittsburgh. There were two options for kids in his town; the mill or the war. But he always dreamed of something different. He walks home to greet his mother who takes the groceries, adding with annoyance that he's still in the bedroom. Billy walks upstairs to Graham's room, finding the younger sibling laying in bed, morose. He tells “Peaches” that she's just a girl and there will be others. He knows because Graham is 14 years old and can play the guitar. He's going to have plenty of girlfriends one day.
Present Day: Warren Rojas chuckles on his boat, recalling that it was Graham's idea to start a band.
1968: During gym class, Graham brings up starting a band with his three best friends, Warren Rojas, Eddie Roundtree, and Chuck Loving. Warren thinks Graham's just trying to get his girlfriend back, but Graham insists that's not it. He just wants to do something he loves with his brother and three best friends. The other boys stop running at the mention of Billy Dunne. Graham just smiles and runs off.
Present Day: Billy laughs at the memory, as he never agreed to be in their band. He said he would listen, and maybe give them some pointers. Graham, however, smirks that he knew his brother. Eddie recalls that by the second practice, he was basically in the band. By the third, it was his.
1968: Billy watches the band rehearse and stops them after a few moments. He corrects each of them, though Graham suggests he shows them how it's done. Billy adjusts the microphone and takes his spot at the front of the band.
Daisy muses over it being a great time to be alive for music lovers. She saw artists perform all over the city. She was 15 and the whole world seemed so beautiful and good. She goes to class during the day and dances in the club at night. She makes eye contact with the lead singer and they go back to his hotel room. She asks where everyone is, but he simply locks the door. After, Daisy goes down to the pool where people are partying. She sits in a chair and notices the same guy flirting with other girls. People say she was naïve but she wasn't naïve, she was a baby. She hated that feeling of being pathetic and weak, so helpless. She didn't wanna be that girl anymore. Daisy goes home to where a house party is happening. She lays in her bed and sobs for a moment, then writes her name in a journal.
Present Day: Warren reminisces that they did 10 proms, and 20 graduation parties, and he doesn't even know how many sweet sixteens. Graham calls the band a distraction, an escape, that none of them thought anything more of it - not even Billy. But everything changed one night.
1970: Dunne Brothers band takes the stage at a small outdoor party. They start performing Susie Q, a song they take with them across their performances, which includes a wedding one night. Mid-song, Billy sees an older man dancing with a younger woman and freezes. Graham follows his eye line to the couple who stumble off. Billy leaves the stage and Graham chases after him. Billy, upset, remarks the man is supposed to be in Georgia. Graham bets he never even left. The rest of the band joins them, with Eddie asking what's wrong with them. Warren is happy over the performance and brushes off Graham's remark about the guy in there. He calls him a creepster with the combover and a girl half his age. He's Billy and Graham's father.
Present Day: Graham was four when he left so he never had a father. But it was different for Billy because he worshiped the guy.
1970: Billy wants to say something, but Graham doesn't think it's a good idea. Billy plows past and walks inside, standing inches from the man, asking if he knows who he is. The man wonders if he should. If he should, then of course he does. He'd recognize that guitar anywhere. Graham pulls Billy away but Billy grabs the guitar and jams it at the man, telling him to take it. He shouts for him to fucking take it. The man has no use for it. He gave it to Billy as something to remember him by. Billy smashes the bottom of it on the ground. He calls him an asshole and leaves. Graham looks at the man and then punches him across the face. Eddie and Warren pull Graham away. Once in the parking lot, Eddie asks if Billy is okay.
Present Day: Graham can still see the look on his face. That's the moment it became real.
1970: Billy calls them into a huddle. They're all his brothers and he loves them. They work hard, stick together, and they're gonna be the biggest fucking band in the world one day. They all trust him and are family, pulling into a group hug.
Present Day: Billy really believed it too, even before he met Daisy.
Daisy repeats the interviewer's question of if she was out of control. She pauses then admits probably. But she was writing too, which felt even better than drugs. Like she found a piece of herself she didn't know was missing. She couldn't imagine a better feeling.
1970: Daisy stands in her room and takes a pill bottle out of her drawer. She walks to the Troubadour and hugs the doorman. She walks the streets of LA with a bottle of booze at night, snorts drugs during the day, and smokes with groupies. She takes a pill from a guy while smoking a cigarette. She also writes in her journal while laying on her bed. One day, her mother finds her book and Daisy catches her reading it. She confronts her for going through her things. Her mom simply collects the records that are hers. Daisy asks if they're any good. Her mom touches her face, calls her a pretty girl, and leaves. Daisy walks the street and finds a bar advertising an indoor piano.
Billy is doing laundry when he notices a girl across the room who occasionally glances at him. They make eye contact and she walks over. She starts to ask him a question and he assumes she knows who he is, and introduces himself as Billy Dunne, offering a handshake. She was just going to ask if he was using the basket near him. He's not and passes it over to her. He asks if she doesn't know who he is, and she wonders if she should. He's in a band, a statement she thinks is cool. He mutters to himself then clarifies that some people know him and he saw her looking over. He smiles awkwardly then tells her never mind.
Present Day: Camila Alvarez laughs as of course she knew who he was. Every girl in Hazelwood knew Billy Dunne. And not because he was in some band.
1970: Camila asks what a rockstar like him is doing in the local fluff and fold. His mom's washer-dryer broke. She thinks it's sweet of him to help his mom out; he must be a good son. He admits it's his washer-dryer too. She teases him that he still lives with his mother, making him laugh. He asks if he can turn this around but there's not much. He asks for her number and he'll write her a song. She asks if that line ever works. He asks if it has since it's the first time he's using it.
Present Day: Eddie knew Camila from the neighborhood. They used to walk to Sunday school together when they were kids. No one could help but fall in love with her, even then. Then she met Billy. Warren remarks that for the next year, it felt like all they did was practice. If his hands were red and raw by the time he went to bed, he knew it was a good day. They had a lot of good days back then.
1970-1971: Camila takes pictures and videos of the band as they practice. Billy tells the band to go again. One night, Billy goes to Camila's house with a bouquet of flowers. She hopes he brought the tie she picked out, and he has it in his pocket. She helps him put it on, teasing that he's a mess, and he kisses her. Once inside having dinner with Camila's family, Billy compliments Mr. Alvarez on his home, earning a sigh. Mrs. Alvarez brings up that Billy works in the steel mine, which he assures her is just temporary. He's a musician, in a band called the Dunne Brothers. They're working hard at it and playing gigs every night. It doesn't exactly pay the bills, but Camila is sure it will.
Present Day: Graham never doubted it for a second, but not everyone felt the same.
1970-1971: Graham, Billy, Eddie, and Warren pull up to Chuck's house where they practiced every day. The garage doors are down and Chuck sits on the steps. He tells the band that he got into college, but the guys didn't know he applied. Warren asks if this was before or after he spent all his money on the van. Chuck knows, but they have a great dental program. He guesses he's going to be a dentist now. Billy asks him not to do this when things are starting to happen. They're opening for The Winters on Thursday and that's just the beginning. This is a real opportunity for Chuck. He knows this is Billy's dream, but just because he wants something to happen doesn't mean it will. Billy really does think there's a future with the band. Chuck thinks he's out of his fucking mind and goes inside. Eddie wants to cancel the gig, but Billy refuses, even though they don't have their bassist. After a moment, Billy tells Eddie to switch over to bass. He refuses at first then asks for how long. Billy thanks him and pats his chest on the way into the van. Eddie throws his cigarette on the ground.
Daisy sings in the shower and her latest fling, Wyatt Stone, listens. He compliments her major pipes. He sits on the bed and reads her journal. He then strums his guitar and sings her song “Stumbled on Sublime”. He tells her they aren't half-bad and sings more, but she stops him as it doesn't go like that. He asks how it goes and she sings him a few lines. She refuses to sing it again as he'll have to write his own song. He kisses her and they make out on the bed.
Present Day: Daisy recalls the worst part is that she let him take that song from her. That was how little she thought of herself at the time. Thank God she met Simone when she did.
The interviewer speaks with Simone Jackson, relaying Daisy's words about Simone changing her life. She asks about how they met. Simone recalls being at a party in the hills and Simone had just finished performing at Gazzari's and assumes Daisy saw her there. Daisy knew everything about her and everything about everything.
1971: Daisy talks with Simone by the balcony, rambling on about a story. Simone asks for her name again. Daisy's a huge fan of hers but isn't sure what she's doing singing backup for Penny fucking Richardson. Moments later, Penny greets Simone who surprises Daisy and introduces herself. Penny wants to leave but Simone isn't ready yet. Penny claims she's done and they argue a few paces away. Simone comes back and insists to Daisy it's' not what she thinks. Daisy just thinks she's too cool for that chick. They go back to her house which is only temporary until the album comes out. Daisy's glad she won't be singing backup anymore. Once inside, Simone asks if Daisy sings and she says she doesn't. She just took piano as a kid. She puts on a record that she loves and sits on the couch. She loves that the singer chose to sing these songs in her own voice because they meant something to her - it's personal, as opposed to her writing for others. Simone thinks that's her. She's seen her all over the Strip. Most of the girls are there for drugs, sex, and stories to tell their friends. But not her, she's there for the music. Simone has seen her. The only question is why she's in the crowd and not on the stage where she wants to be.
The band and Camila arrive at a gig for The Winters. Camila clings to Eddie's arm happily then hugs Billy, remarking that it's unbelievable. Graham stares at The Winters keyboardist, Karen and Warren laughs at him to keep dreaming. The bands pass at the steps and the Dunne Brothers compliment The Winters. Karen is the last to come down, and Graham compliments her. After introductions, she asks if he knows a good place to eat around there. He asks if she's going to stick around as it'll be a good show. She thinks maybe next time and he suggests the best burger place in town. The Dunne brothers take the stage and Karen sits down next to a man with a reserved seat - Rod Reyes.
Present Day: Rod Reyes a tour manager mentions that in a lineup people can still point to Jagger and say that's the rockstar. Billy Dunne had that in spades.
1971: Rod sits with the band outside and suggests they write their own songs. Billy has written some but they aren't good enough yet. He wrote one called “Never More” about the Catonsville Nine. Rod vehemently tells him no, groaning about him being Bob Dylan. Enough with the political shit. No one needs reminding that the world is a mess. They want to feel good again, and feel hope and suggest he write a love song. He tells Graham to cool it with the solos. Nobody cares about his technical guitar skills. They want to sing and dance.
Present Day: Billy rebuffs that Rod had a lot of ideas. Rod once told Karen to wear low-cut shirts. She told him to eat shit and that was that.
1971: The last thing Rod imparts is for the band to get out of Pittsburgh if they want to sign with a label and work with producers such as Teddy Price, which piques Billy's interest. Rod knows everyone and they're all in LA now. Not London or New York, but California. The group talks outside the gig and is all in. Warren better gas up the van and laughs if she'll make it. Camila walks over to ask what they're talking about.
Billy and Camila sit on her front steps. He wants her to come with them, but she wonders what she'll do. She can't just follow him around. She has a job and is going to school. She can't just fall for some boy across the country. He takes offense to her calling him “some boy” as he's not “some boy”. She asks what this is then and he tries to hold her but she pulls away, heading back up the steps. He asks if that's it then if it's over. She turns to face him as he still owes her that song. She goes inside while he cries on the steps. She wipes away her tears and her mom comforts her. She professes he's moving away and her mom holds her. Mrs. Alvarez thinks this is a blessing, and Camila admits he asked her to come with him to California. Mrs. Alvarez tells her she can't as her family is here and nothing is more important than that. She can never turn her back on her family. Camila simply responds “you did”.
Present Day: Billy tells the interviewer that it's not enough to meet the right person, you have to meet them at the right time as well.
1971: It's pouring down rain as the Dunne Brothers prepare to leave for California. Eddie secures the luggage on the roof when Camila walks up holding an umbrella and a cooler. She asks if there's room for one more and Warren cheers over her presence. She gets into the back of the van and Billy asks if she's sure about this, about coming. She nods and he kisses her.
Daisy is pumping gas when a car pulls up playing a song. She recognizes the words as being from her song “Stumbled on Sublime”. She sits in disbelief and anger.
Present Day: “Stumbled on Sublime” was number one for four straight weeks and that son of a bitch still claims he wrote the whole song. It was becoming a pattern.
1971: Daisy has breakfast with Gary and tells him that she took a benny to wake up in the morning so if she just has coffee she'll be way too amped. Hence the champagne, which she calls an up and down. He thinks that's funny and will use it in a script one day. She asks what makes him think she won't use it in something one day. He assures her that he meant it as a compliment and there's no reason to be cross. She can be like his muse or something. She hears “Stumbled on Sublime” on the jukebox and storms out of the diner. He follows her outside looking for answers. She finds offense in being his muse and they argue in the parking lot. She's not interested in being anyone's muse. She's not the muse, she's somebody. He laughs at her so she pushes him and gets in her car.
Present Day: Daisy admits that no matter how confident she pretended to be if enough people told her she was shit, she believed them. She just couldn't take it anymore. She had to find out if everyone else was right about her. Or if she was.
1971: Daisy walks into the bar advertising the piano and asks to play. She takes a seat at the piano and takes out her journal to find a song to play.
On the road, Graham brings up how the keyboardist Karen brought something to the mix, and Camila agrees with him.
Daisy cries as she sings her song.
The Dunne Brothers and Camila drive down to California, smoking and laughing in their van.
When Daisy finishes her song, the few patrons inside clap for her. She picks up her bag and walks out of the bar with a smile. The Dunne Brothers arrive in LA mid-jam session. Billy gazes out the window at the street performers, Warren waves to the girls, Camila takes photos, and Billy makes eye contact with Daisy Jones for a split second before turning his attention back to the group. Daisy walks down the street with a smile on her face.
