Country Strong is about a rising young singer-songwriter (Garrett Hedlund), who gets involved with a fallen, emotionally unstable country star (Paltrow), and as the pair embark on a career resurrection tour helmed by her husband/manager (McGraw), which also features a beauty-queen-turned-singer (Leighton Meester). Between concerts, romantic entanglements and old demons threaten to derail them all.
