About THE NEON HIGHWAY:
Wayne Collins, a young singer/songwriter (Rob Mayes), was a heartbeat away from making it in Nashville when a car crash ended his dream. Now, seven years later, he’s a working man in Columbus, Georgia, trying to make ends meet. During a cable installation, he meets Claude Allen, a drunken has-been country music legend (Beau Bridges), who hands him a guitar and listens to one of Wayne’s original songs. Together, they return to Nashville, hoping they can shop the song and score a record deal. But the industry has changed, and no one is willing to take a chance on Claude. Not one to give up, Wayne outsmarts the system.
