SYNOPSIS

This is a story about aging baby boomers who refuse to give up on their dreams, their ideals, or their commitment to each other. Eddie and The Palaceades are a one hit wonder from the 60s. Eddie wants to save the Palace Theater where the band got its start. Gracie wants to go back on the road and sing. The band scrambles back from obscurity when Eddie runs for mayor and Gracie starts climbing the charts on a TV Reality show.
