Calypso, Colorado. Hometown of legendary folk singer Johnson Vendetti...and his nephew, the much less impressive Francis Vendetti. It's the 20th anniversary of Johnson's seminal album, and the town is throwing a huge festival, where Francis will play his uncle's greatest hits.
Problem is, Francis isn't exactly jazzed about being used as his uncle's soundalike, and seems even less enthused about folk music. His life however is about change, as a neon soaked rocker from beyond the stars named Lightman has taken an interest in him.
