Bad Blake is a 57 year old alcoholic and former country music star who earns a modest living by singing and playing his guitar in small town bars.
After a number of failed marriages, he is without a family and is constantly travelling from one town to another in his old car. Enter Jean Craddock, a young journalist, divorced and with a 4 year old son.
She begins to see the man behind the musician and she and her son become a catalyst for Bad getting his life back on track. In doing so, Bad renews a relationship with a popular and successful country music star he once mentored, Tommy Sweet, while being eclipsed by the younger performer.
