Tagline
Bright lights. Hit songs. Country's biggest star. He'd trade it all to find the kind of love he'd only sung about.
Overview
Dusty Chandler is a super star in the country music world, but his shows have the style of a '70s rock concert. One day he takes a walk - out of his overdone concerts to find his real country roots. He's helped and hindered by friends and staff, but pushes on in his search for a real music style as well as a real romance.
