Rayna Jaymes, die Königin der Countrymusik, befindet sich auf dem absteigenden Ast. Die Verkäufe ihrer Alben und Konzerttickets sind rückläufig. Um neue Käuferschichten anzusprechen, will ihre Plattenfirma sie im Vorprogramm der aufstrebenden neuen Teenie-Sensation Juliette Barnes auf Tournee schicken. Die junge Rivalin verhält sich aber nicht nur sehr schnippisch, sie macht sich auch noch an Raynas Bandleader und Ex-Lover Deacon ran und versucht, ihn abzuwerben. Unterdessen träumt auch Deacons talentierte Nichte Scarlett gemeinsam mit Duettpartner Gunnar von einer Karriere in Nashville. Ihrem Freund Avery, selbst ein ambitionierter Musiker, ist das plötzliche Interesse an Scarlett aber nicht recht.

"Nashville: The Whole Story" features clips that tell the intersecting tales of music industry greats Rayna James and Juliette Barnes -- one a legend, another on the rise -- as they make their own ways in life, love and in their careers. Rayna's lead guitarist, Deacon, shares a tortured past with her, but has also opened his heart and his arms to Juliette, as Rayna struggles to save her marriage to Teddy, who's running for Mayor. The election pits Teddy against longtime family friend Coleman Carlisle and quickly turns ugly, thanks to the machinations of Rayna's plotting father, Lamar. Meanwhile struggling artist Avery, budding singer/songwriter Scarlett and soulful troubadour Gunnar form a love triangle that produces not only incredible passion and moving but heartfelt music.
