When hard-drinking singer/songwriter Jimmy Poole (Ken Roht) returns after a stint in prison, he finds that things have changed back home. His longtime partner, Tyler (Jeffrey Watkins), seems to be doing just fine without him. In addition, the son they had raised together has taken over his place as the lead singer in his country-western band. As Jimmy struggles to reclaim center stage in his own life, he ends up alienating those he loves most. When he reveals what happened to him in prison, it threatens to break up his relationship with Ty for good. Will their family's collective love for music-making be enough to keep them together?
