Iris Cooper grew up dirt-poor is Texas. Her mother left when she was a baby, leaving her to be raised by her rodeo cowboy dad, who was too interested in beer, whiskey and women to be a good father to her or to provide what was needed. On top of her innocent beauty, Iris has a rare gift: she has the voice of an angel. After singing in the downtrodden bars across the state from the age of twelve, and then many years on the road with different bands suffering at the hands of greedy managers with no scruples, she finally gets a lucky break when she meets Boy, another talented singer, in Jackson Hole. Together they make their way to New York where Iris's talent is recognised and nurtured by one of the top agents in the business.
