The true story of how Pomus began a unique song writing partnership with the much younger Mort Shuman. 1950s New York, Doc and Mart team up when a new phenomenon changes popular music forever - the "teenager", and the strange twosome go on to write extensively for Elvis, Dion and the Belmonts, and the Drifters.
