It is the summer of 1992. Clara Jane is an alternative music-loving graduate from a broadcast school in Detroit. She lands her first job at a small market radio station in northern Michigan in a one-stoplight town called Saturn. The hyper-local programming (featuring lost farm animal reports and radio obits) and the station's mix of light hits and great oldies are a far cry from the rock star glamour she hoped to achieve with a radio career. But Clara finds a home with an eccentric cast of characters, especially the recently-divorced morning man Seth Jones. As Clara and Seth bond over their shared sense of humor and a mutual love of different genres of music, the station is sold and staff members start to be replaced by automation. Will Clara find the radio stardom she craves before the station goes completely robotic?
