The story

In late 1950s America, radio journalist Marcia Jeffries encounters drunken drifter Larry Rhodes while recording a segment at a rural Arkansas jail. She invites him to speak to the audience and sing while playing his guitar, and he becomes instantly popular. Marcia dubs him "Lonesome" Rhodes and fast-tracks him onto his own local radio program.
