This funny and touching story delves into the backstage and personal life of two brothers, Ralph and Carter Stanley. It contains some of the great songs made famous by The Stanley Brothers - songs that will have you singin’ along and flat-footin’ in the aisles. It reveals their struggle to find an audience for their music and their triumphant journey along the way.
