Synopsis: It was 1979, and The Synchronistics were big.Johnny Carson big. Their hit single, "Better Together" rose to #2 on the Billboard Charts. Then something terrible happened that drove the group apart. And now, twenty years later, they're back together to perform at the WKLN public access TV station telethon. Will they overcome their differences, act professionally, and help save WKLN from going under? Probably not.
