[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Rock singer John Mellencamp makes his screen and directorial debut in this story by Lonesome Dove author, Larry McMurtry. The story, not too separated from Mellencamp's real life, finds him as a country music star whose meanderings and philandering has thrown his life into turmoil. He returns to his native Indiana to try and reestablish a normal life. Instead, he takes up with an old lover (Lenz), ignoring his loving wife (Hemingway), and duplicating the lifestyle of his womanizing father (Akins).
