An up-and-coming Hoboken nightclub singer who wants to be a rock star falls in love with a shy young deaf teacher who aspires to be a dancer in this romantic drama. Rosemarie Lemon's (Amy Irving) family doesn't believe in her dreams, but sensitive Drew Rothman (Michael Ontkean) does, and they become lovers. Their common ambitions and need for support make their relationship stronger. The soundtrack includes tunes by Burton Cummings, Tom Petty, and Willie Nelson. This is reputedly the first film to be entirely shot in New Jersey since the silent film era.
