In 1982, Iowan suburban housewife Joyce Jackson (Rosanne) is an obsessed fan of the late Elvis Presley. She's used the so-called King of Rock and Roll's inspiration to turn her small house into a wacky shrine. Convinced that Elvis is still alive, five years after his death, Joyce concocts a plan to set off and find and meet him, so she enlists the help of her estranged husband Jack (Tom Arnold).
