Synopsis
What if a childhood dream suddenly came true — but thirty years later? That’s what happened to singer/songwriter Donnie Emerson. His dream of success suddenly — and unexpectedly — came true but only as he approached 50 years old. And while it brought hopes of second chances, it also brought ghosts of the past and long-buried emotions as Donnie, his brother Joe and their entire family came to terms with their newly found fame.
