But when Josh meets his dad at the airport, he can hardly believe the change he sees in his boring shoe-salesman father: new jet-black hair, huge sideburns, and a Hawaiian shirt with orange parrots
(parrots!) on it. Then Josh discovers his dad has even more news— after losing his job, he’s now trying to make a living as Elvis. Yes, Elvis. He’s become a hunk-a, hunk-a burning shame who has no clue
he’s about to ruin Josh’s life.
