In the 50’s, Lanny Morris (Kevin Bacon) and Vince Collins (Academy Award™ winner Colin Firth) are the most beloved entertainers in America.

They are at the top of their game, wealthy, powerful, and enormously popular, when something terrible happens to threaten their success: inexplicably, a dead beauty turns up in their hotel suite.
