In the sixties, Eddie and the Cruisers were the hottest band around. But the tragic death of its lead singer broke the band up...only Eddie is not dead. He works as a carpenter in Montreal, but his love of music forces him to create a new band which will have to struggle with its anonymity.

A melancholic echo of past glory, this film feels like a forgotten mixtape. It's a gritty, hopeful journey of a faded star seeking redemption and a new voice amidst the anonymity of everyday life.
