Plot

In 1950s America, teenage rebellion comes easy when something like rock 'n' roll is viewed as sinful. Looking to have a good time while they're young, Susan (Renée Zellweger), Cookie (Patricia Childress) and Tony (Max Perlich) -- three teenagers from a small town -- start a nightclub where host Danny Klay (Howie Mandel) introduces the newest rock 'n' roll talent, and everyone can dance the night away. Of course, not everyone in town is happy with the new establishment.
