Starstruck is a story about teenage cousins Jackie Mullens (Jo Kennedy) and Angus (Ross O'Donovan) who live in the Harbour View Hotel, a pub owned by Jackie's family in The Rocks area of Sydney, underneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
At 18 years old, Jackie dreams about becoming a singing star, while 14-year-old Angus, who writes songs and skips school, believes he has what it takes to be a successful manager.
Angus comes up with various schemes to get Jackie noticed, including getting her a spot at a happening club where she has to wear a kangaroo suit, but they all fail to secure Jackie any paying gigs.
Eventually, Angus enters Jackie in a national talent contest at the Sydney Opera House on New Year's Eve. A win in the contest would give Jackie assurance about her career, and the grand prize of $25,000 would be enough for her family to keep their pub open and prevent the local brewery from repossessing it.
