In postwar 1946, a diverse group of dreamers converges on New York City seeking fame, love, and a fresh start. Jimmy Doyle, an ambitious jazz saxophonist, and Francine Evans, a talented singer from the USO circuit, meet on V-J Day and begin a turbulent romance fueled by artistic ambition. As the city transforms around them and the Harlem jazz scene thrives, Jimmy and Francine's relationship is tested by the sacrifices demanded by their careers and the racial and social barriers of the era.
