The documentary opens by mentioning how Mary’s love for music started as she watched her mother sing and dance in front of the TV. Mary started using music as an escape from the difficulties she faced every day. The hardships of life without a father as well as the personal struggles that life in New York brought are highlighted as Mary speaks about her lack of self-worth. Perspective is brought to the hardships that fame at a young age can have on a young musical artist, along with the displacement that Mary felt through the years.
