Up-and-coming singer Tammy Wynette gets a big break when she's asked to open for her idol, country legend George Jones. The two have an immediate romantic connection and undeniable musical chemistry, but their would-be pairing faces a major obstacle: Tammy's husband Don Chapel.
The series chronicles the country music power couple, Tammy Wynette and George Jones, whose complicated-but-enduring relationship inspired some of the most iconic music of all time. Remembered as the 'First Lady of Country Music', Wynette's most successful song 'Stand by Your Man' remains one of the most iconic and best-selling country singles by a female artist. Known for his once-in-a-lifetime voice, George Jones' song 'He Stopped Loving Her Today', is still widely called the greatest country song of all time. With over 30 number-one country songs between them, including duets 'We're Gonna Hold On', 'Golden Ring' and 'Near You', George and Tammy's legacy, both musically and romantically, remains one of the greatest love stories ever told.
