Told in flashback via the songs, Hedwig was born in the GDR but from an early age, wanted to be a woman. Promise of marriage to a US army serviceman, providing he had a sex change operation, promised a way out but one botched operation later, leaving the 'angry inch', he/she's dumped alone in America. Hooking up with Tommy Gnosis, the two form a band but then Gnosis quits, stealing Hedwig's material and going on to stadium-filling fame while a bitter Hedwig is reduced to supper club gigs, shadowing Tommy's tour with a set of songs that tell the story of his/her life.
