Cory Dagg makes a solemn promise to Mae Axton, the co-writer of Heartbreak Hotel, to tell the true story behind the song. His journey weaves his own life with the tragic tale of the man who inspired the hit song, the meteoric rise of Elvis Presley and the impact his music had on The Beatles, revealing how a single song can change the world. After years self-doubt, Cory reaffirms his commitment to his promise, presenting the interconnected stories of Elvis and John Lennon as a testament to fate, sacrifice and the enduring power of music.
