In 1956, Louisiana bad boy Jerry Lee Lewis (Quaid) moves to Memphis, determined to dethrone Elvis with his "ferocious, God-given talent." When Jerry Lee bangs out the bass chords with his feet, fans howl for more. When he finishes a performance by setting his piano ablaze, they mob the stage. But when he marries his 13-year-old second cousin Myra (Ryder)...the scandal nearly kills "The Killer's" career. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)
