Here’s the basic plot: In 1950’s Memphis, a young white part-time radio DJ named Huey wanders into a basement club on Beale Street and hears “black” music for the first time. He falls for the sound (as well as Felicia, the beautiful woman singing) and begins to play the music on “white” radio stations, where it’s instantly a hit. As Huey and Felicia’s stars rise, their interracial relationship faces trouble in pre-civil rights-era Memphis.
