On "Star," three young singers dream of stardom while working their way through the cutthroat world of the entertainment industry.
"Reality soon dawns on the girls’ fantasies, and they start to learn that ambition often comes at a cost," the show's description reads. "And sometimes that cost is too high."
The show is set in Atlanta. Demorest plays its title character, Star Davis, while Queen Latifah plays a mother-figure of sorts for the young singing group and Bratt portrays a down-on-his-luck talent agent who sees something special in Star.
