In Memphis, Tennessee, the hometown of Elvis Presley, a cheap and rundown motel hosts three interwoven parallel stories dedicated to the King of Rock 'n' Roll. Story 1: A Japanese couple obsessed with 1950s American rock music arrives in Memphis. One is a fan of Elvis, while the other admires Carl Perkins, who rose to fame around the same time. They come to Elvis's hometown with a pilgrim's mindset. However, the romantic details of their life cannot save them from losing themselves in the music, with the boy becoming indifferent to everything around him. As they leave, a gunshot rings out, abruptly halting their moment. Story 2: A widow trying to escape the unwanted attention of a strange man checks into the motel. Alone, she meets a girl who has just broken up with her boyfriend, and they share a room. In the dead of night, the widow experiences a dreamlike vision of Elvis. Following this mysterious encounter, the song "Blue Moon" plays on the radio. At the moment they step outside, gunfire erupts. Story 3: The same Elvis photo, the same "Blue Moon." This story revisits the girl from Story 2. After her breakup, her ex-boyfriend goes to a bar for a drink, but after a disagreement, he accidentally injures the bartender. In a panic, he, along with his ex-girlfriend and her brother, flee to the motel. At daybreak, a gunshot is heard from within the room.
