Marva (17) is a regular
at singing contests which she unfortunately always loses. Nevertheless, her father,
Jean Vereecken, dreams of a beautiful career for his daughter. But one day Jean
gets laid off. By way of revenge he decides to kidnap the number one singer in
the country, Debbie. The kidnapping sends great waves of turmoil through the country
sales of Debbie’s latest single soar sky-high, much to the pleasant surprise
of Michael, Debbie’s manager. During a secret meeting with Jean, Michael
proposes a deal: he will make Marva a star if Jean agrees to keep Debbie out of
the way for as long as Michael wants. Jean agrees. For a while, everything goes
as planned, but then the public loses interest in the kidnapping. Debbie’s
record sales plummet. But Michael had known they would, and, unknown to Jean and
Marva, he prepares for a bloodcurdling finale...
