Overview

When the bronzed nose hairs of his late, Elvis-like father are stolen from a rock and roll museum, a down-and-out musician trades his guitar for a magnifying glass and becomes an unlikely private detective. His quest to recover these bizarre relics—and uncover unreleased rock songs—puts him at odds with a gaggle of money-hungry party girls who seem more interested in chaos than closure.
