The Heart of Rock and Roll is a smart, funny, heartfelt throwback to the era of big feelings, classic rom coms, and music that really "Stuck With You."

What's it about?

Former rock singer Bobby has sold out, ditching life in music for a stable existence in corporate America. As he is just about the land the biggest deal of his career, and get the girl of his dreams, Bobby's old band suggests one last crack at the big time. Can Bobby hold onto his new life and job or will he jeopardize everything for his dream of rock and roll glory?
