In 1980, Benny Mardones has a hit single with the soft rock ballad ''Into the Night,'' then descends into a suicidal, cocaine-fueled downward spiral. With testimony from the man himself, along with friends and fans, this documentary profiles Mardones' career, from his difficult childhood in Cleveland with an abusive stepfather to his return to popularity. Abandoned by the music industry, Mardones rebuilds his career in Syracuse, N.Y., becoming a local favorite.
