They say rock n roll never dies, but one dark night in 1964, Eddie Wilsons car went off a Jersey bridge with the troubled rock idol at the wheel. His body was never found despite a massive search. Twenty years after the lead singer of Eddie and the Cruisers disappeared, the bands songs are hotter than ever. And renewed interest in the band leads television reporter Maggie Foley to pursue a tantalizing mystery: What if Eddie is still alive? The circumstances surrounding his death are just shadowy enough to make it a distinct possibility, and someone (could it be Eddie?) has been ransacking the homes of the surviving band members in a desperate search for tapes of the groups visionary, never-released album. As Maggie interviews the former band members, the pieces of the puzzle becomes suitable - but only until still deeper mysteries begin to surface.
Its been close to eighteen years since the officially listed 1964 death of Eddie Wilson, the lead of the working class Jersey rock band Eddie and the Cruisers, which released only one albeit successful album before his death. That official listing of his death is despite Eddies body never having been found. The remaining band members subsequently went their separate ways in Eddie being the bands nucleus, the surviving members not having spoken to each other since. Music journalist Maggie Foley, under the guise of doing a tribute to Eddie, is really searching for evidence of her speculation that Eddie faked his own death, his disappearance she believes having something to do with the Cruisers final recording sessions, as the tapes from those final sessions were checked out of the record company library the day after Eddies death never to been seen again. Maggie tries to contact most of the surviving members in conducting her investigation, each who has a differing opinion on what they would like to see in her story. Coinciding with it, some unknown party also seems to have renewed interest in the band, that party who the band members believes is also searching specifically for the tapes. Flashbacks also show the bands final few years starting with the time its pianist Frank Ridgeway joined, he the educated, sensitive poet outsider who was the catalyst, for good or bad, of many of the changes that occurred with the band, including he becoming the lyricist to Eddies music writer of most of the bands songs.
