Once there was the King, the Killer and the Fat Man of Rock n’ Roll. But time has left the Fat Man forgotten in the Louisiana bayou. Jesse now has the fastest and cleanest hand in rock. Jesse’s aHired Gun; a studio musician who chooses his projects. Dewitt can see his way back to the top with Jesse playing for him. Intrigued by the faded rockabilly star, Jesse travels to the bayou only to find out that rock n’ roll never dies – even when it should.
