In the vibrant year of 1958, a time when Rock & Roll pulsated through teenage hearts, five friends found harmony in chaos, forming The Hound Dog As societal forces clash and cultural upheaval takes center stage, John, Stu, Jerry, Patrick, and the talented newcomer Danny embark on a musical journey in the throes of a changing world.

Beneath the surface of their carefree strumming sessions in Stu’s mom’s basement, ambitions stir within the band. Doubts arise, and the camaraderie is tested as the members question each other’s motives, wondering if they can collectively reach the pinnacle of Rock & Roll stardom.

Tensions escalate, propelling The Hound Dogs toward an unexpected gig before a sizable audience, a challenge they are ill-prepared to face.
