Ralph is an Australian Patsy Cline fan who travels to Nashville with a head full of dreams about making it in the music industry. As he hitchhikes to his destination, a girl named Patsy (and her drug dealer boyfriend, Boyd) picks Ralph up, and his dreams all seem to be coming together. But the trip is derailed when Ralph and Boyd are thrown in jail, leading to an anguished quest for Ralph, who is determined to make it to the Grand Ole Opry.
