Steve Bedford and Mike Sullivan (Bruce Campbell and Peter Gallagher) were once one of the biggest musical acts in the world until they broke up.

There are many trials and tribulations in the preparations and in the process, Quinn and Jason start to fall for each other, but their happiness is dependent on the success of the show.
