~series synopsis~
A rocker (Jesse Traylor) bets his agent and friend (Jonny Kleimo) that he could make it as a country and western singer because any idiot can sing about dead dogs, broken down trucks, and cheating wives. And that's just what he does. Along the way things get complicated however by strange fans, a new love interest (Jessica Jaggs), radio executives, a singing rival, and the tabloids.
