“Two rivals, one woman, and a bone of contention that splits a town in two.”
In a sun-drenched Florida town, a charming guitarist and a nimble dancer find themselves locked in a hilarious, high-stakes battle for the heart of the same woman. This lively folk comedy captures the rhythm of the Harlem Renaissance through sharp-tongued wit and a community trial unlike any other.
