Synopsis
40 years later, a pirate radio station playing the sounds of the fifties awakens Johnny from the dead. Driving through the night in his spectral motorcar, he is a monster in search of lost emotions. The modern world looks like it did in the fifties through his eyes and memory sees him return home to his Ma. Despite Ma’s best efforts, all Johnny does is sleep - except between midnight and 2am when Radio Rockabilly is on air. Re-animated by the music, he drives the streets searching for Sally and looking to avenge his death. Following a series of strange murders, one-armed Memphis cop, Lt. Annie McKenzie is drafted in to investigate. She soon realises that even though they said Rock n Roll was dead, Johnny’s back - alive and killing.
