Identical twin brothers (both played by Rayne) are separated at birth during the Great Depression. Their parents (Geraghty, Crew) just cannot afford to give them both a life beyond poverty, so one is adopted by loving family. Despite their very different upbringings, the boys' shared passion for music causes their lives to unknowingly intersect as they experience a powerful and mysterious connection often felt by twins. One of the boys becomes the most famous rock 'n roll legend in the world, Drexel Hemsley, while Ryan Wade struggles to find balance between his love for music and trying to please his evangelist father (Liotta) and his devoted mother (Ashley Judd) who have very different plans for his life in the ministry. Ryan is encouraged by his wife Jenny (Cottrell) and lifelong friends Dino and Avi (Green, Pantoliano) to follow his musical dreams. A timeless tale of love, hope, and redemption, its a captivating journey about the restoration and the reconciliation of a family broken apart by culture, creed and tradition.The film features over 20 original songs in three volumes from the 50s, 60s and 70s with the soundtrack written and produced by Jerry Marcellino (producer of Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, The Supremes, Lionel Richie) and Yochanan Marcellino.
