Movie Info

Jackpot, Nevada is a town one hundred miles south of Twin Falls, Idaho. But "Jackpot" also means the payout of a slot machine-wealth without effort. For Sunny Holiday (Jon Gries), the pathway to success is to become a country-western singer. Abandoning his beautiful wife Bobbi (Daryl Hannah) and their young baby, he sets off with his manager Lester Les Irving (Garrett Morris) on a nine-month, forty-three-city tour through a series of bleak western towns.
