Overview

A tacky, low-rent Memphis motel dedicated to Elvis Presley is the setting for this anecdotal comedy-drama. The film tells three overlapping but distinct stories taking place over the course of one evening, featuring foreign tourists, criminals on the run, and the spirit of the King himself.
