ACT ONE After the introductory Overture (It's Still Rock and Roll to Me) we are introduced to the five friends - Brenda, Eddie, James, Judy and Tony - who live in Long Island in the 1960s. The king and queen of prom, Brenda and Eddie, are finished, in contrast, 'forever sweethearts' James and Judy are ready for marriage. Their friend, Tony, is looking for that kind of love, and finds it with Brenda, who has become her own woman. But then war takes the men away from home, leaving their loved ones to pick up the pieces. James loses his life in combat, while Tony and Eddie return home broken as Judy grieves.

ACT TWO The vets try to cobble their lives back together. Tony can't seem to find a way to reconnect with Brenda, while Eddie can't connect with anyone. Spiraling into a lonely existence of drugs and self-loathing, Eddie takes a tour through a nightmare of his past, projecting Judy as his guide. By chance, he encounters Judy jogging in the park, and her forgiveness allows him to finally set his life back on track. Brenda and Tony rediscover the love needed to heal their wounds. The friends reunite to discover they have all found their way back home.
