Synopsis

Spoiler shield

When teen heartthrob Frankie Troy disappears, high schooler Freddie Trimble–a dead ringer for the crooner–is singled out by his so-called friends as the radio star. As hijinks ensue, things worsen when Troy's wife and newborn arrive.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
