Siren the movie is the brainchild of Michele Fiore-Kaime.
[edit] Overview
Michele, wife of businessman Nat Kaime, and mother of two daughters, Sheena and Savanah, raised the money to start production on her film about a 38 year old housewife, whose dream of rock stardom still weighs heavy on her soul, by mortgaging and taking all the equity out of her family's home, and that of her mother as well. She single handedly put together a crew of talented Las Vegas professionals, and oversaw every aspect of the production and post-production process.
[edit] Plot
Siren is told through the character of Storm Fagan (Newcomer Michele Fiore-Kaime). When she was 17-years-old Storm was on the verge of pop super-stardom, but she put her career on hold to marry the man she loved (veteran film and television actor Gary Graham as Jay Fagan) and raise their beautiful daughter.
Fast forward 20 years. Her daughter is on the way to college and Storm's rock and roll dreams are rekindled when her husband encourages her to take up singing locally as “Something to do your spare time… Like Amway.”
Jay ends up with more than he bargained for. After getting kicked around by local bands over her age and dress size, Storm sheds her inhibitions and 35 pounds to put her ambitions into overdrive. First she puts together her own band Siren, from a diverse but talented group of musicians each with a different musical style and background. Despite (or perhaps because of) their history and baggage, the chemistry is magical! Refusing to take “no” for an answer she relentlessly pursues and cleverly wins over Sharon Cox, the best and toughest music agent in town. (Popular actress and real life agent Erin Gray).
Storm secretly sells the family car, and ignoring an ultimatum from Jay, steals off with her band Siren in the middle of the night on a multi-state tour, risking everything to find out once and for all if she is still good enough to make the music and her most cherished dreams live again.
Storm confronts and overcomes each obstacle that is put in her path, but the traps and trappings of touring, bus breakdowns, alcohol, drugs, and lustful groupies begin to take their toll. Worse yet, back on the home front her best friend Renee (sexy and talented actress Janien Valentine) makes an all out bid to seduce and win Jay for her own.
At the end of the road in Las Vegas, everything and everyone come crashing together for better or worse as Storm finds out that win lose or draw, it is better to hold on to your dreams, than to have your dreams on hold.
