Fired by a fierce ambition, blessed with an extraordinary voice, her long struggle for fame and fortune begins. But even when she reaches the top she finds that the scars of the past can open up to ruin her...Steeped in atmosphere and raw emotion, "Georgia" is the story of a determination to succeed against all the odds and of a burning first love.
