SYNOPSIS

One man’s quest for fame leads him on a quixotic journey through his childhood obsessions: the 1960s NASA space program, Hollywood’s singing cowboys, and the big Texas sky. Along the way, he records the most significant novelty record of all time, alters rock’n’roll history, and touches the stars.
