The biographical story of rock idol and TV star Ricky Nelson is told from Ricky's point of view in a discussion with a fan just hours before his death in a plane crash in 1985. Told in flashbacks, the film examines the Nelsons' early life, their rise to TV stardom in the 50's, Ricky's struggles with his dad to move into music and out of his dad's realm of control, his own struggles with drugs and his star drop after his early teen successes.
