New Orleans, 1974: The city hums with the sound of jazz, but beneath its vibrant brass and smoky bars lies a shadowy underworld where debts are settled with blood. Samson "Sam" Harper, a once-renowned jazz drummer, now works as a brutal debt collector for corrupt club owners after his career crumbled due to addiction and personal tragedy. Haunted by the death of his wife and daughter, Sam's drumsticks have long been replaced by his fists. When rising jazz saxophonist Charlie Bishop confronts a powerful club owner, Victor Devereaux , accusing him of orchestrating his father’s mysterious death, he’s marked for elimination. Sam is sent to silence Charlie, but their paths collide in an unexpected way: Charlie’s raw, defiant music stirs something in Sam, a faint echo of the passion he once had for the art. Sam spares Charlie and reluctantly agrees to help him uncover the truth behind his father’s murder. Their investigation takes them deep into the heart of New Orleans’ jazz scene, from backroom jam sessions to opulent, crime-ridden nightclubs. Along the way, Sam rediscovers his own broken relationship with music and grapples with the man he’s become. The journey grows increasingly dangerous as Victor and his henchmen close in. At the same time, Sam forms a complex relationship with Charlie's sister, Eve, a gifted pianist grappling with her own struggles and seeking to protect her brother from his self-destructive obsession.
