Akut pengemangel tvinger ham til at sove på venners sofaer, og en kvindelig, gift kollega venter hans barn efter en kort affære.

Tim Robbins har både skrevet og instrueret denne film, hvori han også selv spiller titelrollen som den fascistiske senatorkandidat, der med hjælp fra sine musikalske talenter har lagt sig stærkt i spidsen foran sine modkandidater! Han har tilsyneladende alle de meninger, som vælgerne ønsker sig af deres nye senator, og de glemmer tydeligvis at stille spørgsmålstegn ved, om han nu også er, hvad han giver sig ud for at være! Han kaster sig over de stofproblemer, som enhver storby den dag i dag må slås med, og netop fordi narko er noget, alle kan vende sig imod, er der ingen, der tænker over, hvad denne herre ellers vil bruge sin indflydelse på. Da det kommer for dagens lys, at Roberts selv har været involveret i smugling og handel med stoffer, ser det hele pludselig ikke længere så lyst ud!

Joy Brown (Billie Dean) is a 40-something woman with little confidence, less self-esteem and a burning desire to realise her dream of being a singer/songwriter. But she cant sing. When Joy takes in a stray dog, Raffi, her life immediately changes. Her best friend, the tarot card reading Tessa (Janet Watson Kruse), moves in, Joy changes her name to Luna Starr, and she meets Peter Wolfman (Andrew Einspruch). When Peter encourages her to perform with him at the local pizzerias folk music nights, Joy sings sort of hiding behind masks of wigs and silliness. Despite the singing, Peter and Joys relationship blossoms. But there are lots of hiccups along the way -- ex-wives, ex-husbands, frightening performances, and bucket loads of doubt.
