Crescendo centers on the story of Leah Stevenson, a retired singer who is experiencing restless nights, haunted by a physical assault from ten years earlier that shamed her out of the music industry. After the assault Leah sued the now mogul producer ‘Magic’ causing a media frenzy around the case tarnishing his name. Aggravated by her effort to fight back, Magic pushed forward burying her family in legal fees and dragging Leah's name through the mud.
