When the draft selects rock star Conrad Birdie (Joshua Walls), his fans are devastated, but none more than struggling songwriter Albert Peterson (Phillip Witmer-Rich), whose song Birdie was just about to record. Albert’s longtime girlfriend Rosie (Mandy Glime) pushes Albert to write a new tune that Birdie will perform on television to a fan selected in a contest. The scheme works, with young Ohio teenager Kim McAfee (Madi Scarvelli) declared the winner, but no one has counted on the jealous wrath of her boyfriend (Joshua Masters).
