EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS

(Drama | Music | Mystery)
[1 hour 35 minutes]


They say rock 'n' roll never dies, but one cold morning in 1964,
Eddie Wilson's car went off a Jersey bridge with the troubled rock
idol at the wheel. His body was never found despite a massive search.
Twenty years after the lead singer of Eddie and the Cruisers
disappeared, the band's songs are hotter than ever. And renewed
interest in the band leads television reporter Maggie Foley to pursue
a tantalizing mystery: What if Eddie is still alive? The circumstances
surrounding his death are just shadowy enough to make it a distinct
possibility, and someone (could it be Eddie?) has been ransacking the
homes of the surviving band members in a desperate search for tapes of
the group's visionary, never-released album. As Maggie interviews the
former band members, the pieces of the puzzle becomes suitable - but
only until still deeper mysteries begin to surface.
