The movie kicks off with a band performing at a cozy island cafe known as "Island." The cafe's owner, a guy named Alvarez, takes a liking to Nora, the lead singer of the band. Alvarez invites her to his table, showering her with compliments about her beauty and singing voice. He's so impressed that he offers Nora a oneyear contract, tripling her pay, to perform at the cafe every Saturday night.
