Synopsis

In the celestial realms of heaven, where time and space converge, two musical legends find themselves in an unexpected encounter. Bobby DeBarge, the soulful crooner with a troubled past, and Hector Lavoe, the salsa sensation whose life was a rollercoaster of triumphs and tragedies, come together in a poignant conversation that transcends mortality. As they reminisce about their meteoric rise to fame and the demons that plagued them throughout their lives, Bobby and Hector confront their shard struggles with addiction, stemming from deep-seated pain and anguish. Bobby, haunted by memories of abuse and discrimination, grapples with his tumultuous journey to sobriety amidst the harsh realities of prison life. Meanwhile, Hector recounts his battles with mental illness and the devastating losses that drove him to the brink of despair, even as he sought solace in his music. As they reflect on their regrets and missed opportunities, Bobby and Hector find common ground in their commitment to raising awareness about the scourge of AIDS, which ultimately claimed their lives. With unwavering resolve, they vow to use their voices to educate their communities about the importance of prevention and destigmatization, particularly among black and Latino men who are disproportionately affected by the disease.
