It's the 1960s, and two Nashville boys, negotiating their way to manhood, chase women, love, sex, God's will, and the perfect rock-and-roll song... maybe not in that order. Best high school friends Brad Warren and Ronnie Lewis pull off foolish antics, start a rock band, and succumb to the wiles of older girls, yet obey the rules of their fundamentalist church. After graduation, they head off to Bible college, where they push the limits, almost get expelled, and then get married, one having to, one wanting to. Their longtime bond survives loving the same woman, struggling with addiction and infidelity, hiding haunting secrets, dealing with illness and death, losing their faith, and finding it again, as they search for purpose in life and find their peace.
