1964 год, расцвет битломании. Знаменитая ливерпульская четверка впервые прилетает в США. Три подруги — импульсивная битломанка Роузи Петрофски, фотокорреспондентка Грейс Корригэн, мечтающая сфотографировать Битлз, а также нейтрально относящаяся к музыке Пэм Митчелл уговорили знакомого простофилю Ларри Дюбуа «позаимствовать» отцовский лимузин и отправиться в Нью-Йорк, на телешоу Эда Салливана, где Битлз дадут первый концерт на территории Соединённых Штатов.
