They called it the devil's music. To this, Jerry Lee Lewis whooped: if I'm going to hell, I'm going there playing the piano! With Winona Ryder at his side, Dennis Quaid sets the keys, screen and hearts on fire as the defiant rock n roll superstar who broke all the rules. In 1956, Louisiana bad boy Jerry Lee Lewis (Quaid) moved to Memphis, Tennessee determined to dethrone Elvis with his ferocious, God - given talent. Lewis right hand played gospel: the left played the barrel house rhythm and blues. Combined, they ignited hits like Whole Lotta Shakin Goin on that surged with raw, reckless sexual energy. When Jerry Lee banged out the bass chords with his feet, fans howled for more. When he finished a performance by setting his piano a ablaze, they mobbed the stage. But when he married his 13-year-old second cousin Myra (Ryder).... the scandal nearly killed the killer's career.
