Quicklook RatingNo Rating

synopsis

"Duets" is a road-trip comedy about six strangers from all walks of life who have one thing in common- a passion for karaoke. They are: a small time singer with dreams of stardom, a down-on-his-luck young cab driver searching for the meaning of life, an ex-con with the past of a killer but the voice of an angel, a salesman burned out by his hamster-like existence on the treadmill of suburbia and an innocent Vegas showgirl who discovers a remarkable connection to a seasoned karaoke hustler. As they converge on the $5,000 Grand Prize Karaoke Contest in Omaha, Nebraska, they collide and combust and ultimately enrich each other, in the funny, raucous world of the karaoke bars and chain hotels that link the interstates of Middle America.
