One last
comeback
Eddie Doyle is an Elvis Tribute Artiste. He has made it to the Final of the ‘Colossus Tribute’ competition in Las Vegas. Declared the winner he steps on the stage overwhelmed by the applause, wipes his brow, and then stuns everyone… by having a heart attack!
Eddie wakes cruising at thirty thousand feet, and is confronted by Cyril — a ‘servant’ who tells him his earthly life has ceased, and that he has been appointed by God to take Eddie on a journey through his past: entertainer for his father’s shady business, frontman for a rock band, a short-lived first marriage and a son, Eddie Jnr, brought up by others.
The son he neglected has turned to crime. Eddie must return to earth to rescue him. Elvis lives — but can Eddie make one last comeback?
