A street singer narrates the tale of a young woman named Brooklyn who grows up in the projects, raised by her grandmother Faith after her father, a Vietnam veteran, and her Parisian mother were torn apart. Brooklyn discovers she has a soaring voice and enters a singing contest at a local bar to win enough money to travel to Paris and find her mother. A modern fairy tale told through a powerhouse pop-soul score.
