The blazing stories of sin and redemption come from radio and the Bible: they strike sparks in commanding sermons and enticing pop. A prodigal son, Jerry Lee Lewis, storms from the depths of the provinces into the national spotlight, secretly marries his 13-year-old cousin, who will be only one of his seven wives, and is damned. Years later, a night watchman at Graceland - Elvis Presley's estate - observes a '76 Lincoln Continental snarling its way through the gravel of the driveway and ramming the gate after a final acceleration. The driver shouts in an equally resounding chrome voice: "I want to see Elvis! Just tell him, the killer's here."
