In Memphis, Tennessee, the hometown of Elvis Presley, a cheap and run-down hotel hosts three interwoven parallel stories dedicated to the King of Rock and Roll. Story One: A Japanese couple, obsessed with American rock music from the 1950s, arrives in Memphis. One is a fan of Elvis, while the other prefers Carl Perkins, a contemporary of Elvis. They come to the King’s hometown with a pilgrim's spirit. However, the romantic details of their lives can’t prevent them from losing themselves in music, with the boy even indifferent to everything around him. As they leave, a gunshot rings out, abruptly stopping everything. Story Two: A widow, trying to escape the harassment of a stranger, checks into the Memphis hotel. In her solitude, she meets a single girl who has just broken up with her boyfriend, and they share a room. Late at night, the widow sees the ghostly figure of Elvis in a half-dream state. After this mysterious encounter, the song "Blue Moon" plays on the radio. Just as she steps outside, a gunshot is heard. Story Three: The same Elvis photo, the same "Blue Moon." This story revisits the girl from Story Two. After her boyfriend breaks up with her, he drinks in a bar, but a disagreement leads to him accidentally injuring the bartender. He, along with his girlfriend and her brother, flees to this hotel. At dawn, a gunshot is heard inside the room.
