Carmen is not a stereotypical young rock singer in her appearance but she does have talent and ambition. Her friendships with Indy, Josh and Mrs P are all important in influencing her decisions and overcoming her self-doubt.
In her attempt to become a success, Carmen's strength of character emerges. She learns to overcome obstacles, develop her talent and to learn some important lessons in life.
The storyline is well supported by some strong and credible characters who each in their turn have an important part to play in telling Carmen's story.
