Nascita, crescita, apoteosi e inizio di declino di Elvis Aaron Presley, il mito di più generazioni, vengono raccontati e riletti dal punto di vista del suo manager di tutta una vita: il Colonnello Tom Parker. È lui che accompagna, con voce narrante e presenza in scena, la dirompente ascesa di un'icona assoluta della musica e del costume mentre si impegna, apertamente ma anche in segretezza, per condizionarne la vita con il fine di salvaguardare la propria.
