Washington DC in the 1930s. The epicenter of American Jazz. Two teenage boys arrive in America’s capital and are overjoyed at the prospect of being able to regularly see their Jazz idols perform live. However, a nasty surprise awaits them. The rigid segregation of the time means they can't find albums by their favorite Black musicians in mainstream record shops, let alone find and attend live performances. Their passion for Jazz drives these two teenage boys to reject the status quo and pursue a more equitable path to becoming a part of the Jazz scene.
