Doug, an aspiring country singer in his forties, has spent
his life as a loser in a non-descript small town, where
nobody believes in his heartbreaking voice and talent as
a musician. When the last of his music pupils deserts him,
Doug is forced to face up to the fact that his music career
is going nowhere. Only his best friend Bill, a macho small
engine repair man, has any faith in Doug's talent; Doug's
wife Agnes gave up on him years ago. When Burley, their
volatile friend who's just got out of prison for a hit and
run, shows up in town again, he takes the only other job
that Doug could do, forklift driver at the local plant.
Doug has hit rock-bottom but with the help of Bill and local
bar owner Big Eddy, Doug is handed one last chance to show
he can make to the big time...A quiet self-assured debut
feature from newcomer Niall Heery.
