Eddie Presley is a down-on-his-luck ex-Elvis impersonator. With his days of former glory performing in small to medium-sized clubs behind him, he's stuck in a dead-end security job, making barely enough to live out of his van. But Eddie's luck is about to change when he's offered a comeback gig at a seedy Hollywood nightclub - until he has a breakdown on stage and gives the audience a powerful, improvised performance they'll not soon forget. Based on the stage play by Duane Whitaker (From Dust 'Til Dawn 2), Eddie Presley is a bittersweet drama in the tradition of The King of Comedy and Ed Wood, with plenty of satirical jabs at politics and life at the bottom of the entertainment food chain.
