New Orleans Voodoo and Harlem Blues come together like sultry lovers on a hot summer night in this 1929 story of a black blues singer and a wealthy white socialite who find that racism isn’t the only obstacle in their relationship. The Stock Market crash, visions derived from chicken bones and long guarded family secrets, weave together a drama infused with the passion of blues music and the dangers of forbidden love.
