Millie (Danielle Macdonald) works as a fund manager, but she has always dreamed of being an opera singer. She decides to take a year-long sabbatical to pursue her dreams. She hires Meghan Geoffrey-Bishop (Joanna Lumley) for singing lessons in order to prepare for a singing competition.
However, before Millie begins training with her, Meghan makes some ground rules for her to follow, which means Millie must put her relationship with her boyfriend on hold. Millie complies, but after meeting Max (Hugh Skinner), another opera student, she begins to fall for him as she learns to leave her comfort zone in order to fully and finally live her passion.
