The story

On 12 October 1978, police are summoned to the Hotel Chelsea in New York City, where they find Nancy Spungen dead.

A little more than a year earlier, in 1977, close friends and band members Sid and Johnny Rotten meet Nancy, a heroin-addicted American groupie who had come to London to bed the Sex Pistols.

Nancy is distraught when Sid departs on a month-long American tour without her.
