從小熱愛(ài)音樂(lè)，并最終成為一名職業(yè)巡演音樂(lè)人的吉米-泰斯塔格羅斯（朗-埃達(dá)德飾），歷經(jīng)長(zhǎng)達(dá)25年的時(shí)間，足跡遍布6大洲，帶領(lǐng)自己的音樂(lè)團(tuán)隊(duì)巡演幾乎整個(gè)地球，他的粉絲、歌迷已然有數(shù)百萬(wàn)之多。如今，已然是中年男人的吉米，終于在45歲這年決定回家，看望自己自20歲父親去世那年便從未見(jiàn)過(guò)面的老母親（羅伊絲-史密斯飾），以及他離別多年的小鎮(zhèn)和少時(shí)的朋友們。
　　然而，經(jīng)過(guò)多年的歲月洗禮，兩鬢斑白的老母親雖親情依舊，但往日記憶里的濃情小鎮(zhèn)早已翻天覆地，尤其是多年未謀面的發(fā)小、舊友甚至青梅竹馬卻早已是為人夫婦、情隨世遷。在歷經(jīng)一番懷舊、追憶、歡笑、誤解甚至打罵之后，無(wú)情的歲月與世道之變遷，帶給這位明星顯赫的老搖滾巨星的不僅僅是溫馨滿(mǎn)溢，更多的則是歲月無(wú)情和舊愛(ài)的逝去。但年邁的老母親多年不變的母子親情卻依舊溫暖如初，她收藏的愛(ài)子年少時(shí)便盡顯音樂(lè)才華時(shí)的舊照片和簡(jiǎn)報(bào)，再次成為了中年吉米感恩親情、相信生活的動(dòng)力所在……
　　For over 20 years, Jimmy Testagross has lived his childhood dream: being a roadie for his childhood heroes, Blue Oyster Cult. But the band's Arena-Rock glory days are a distant memory. County fairs and club gigs pay the bills. And Jimmy has become a casualty of these leaner times. With no place to go, no job prospects, and no real skills outside of being a roadie, Jimmy needs to regroup. So he returns to his childhood home in Queens, Ny. There, he revisits old relationships: his ailing, widower mom, a high school crush, a former nemesis and, most importantly, his relationship with himself. Jimmy, the middle-aged man-child, has never grown up. He still carries the resentments and frustrations of his youth, and has allowed them to fester and define who and what he is. Confronted with his mother's illness, Jimmy has a choice: let go of the past and take responsibility for both himself and the woman who raised and now needs him. Or continue to live a life of lies and frustration.
