In 1960s Detroit, a good night onstage can get you noticed but it won't get your song played on the radio.

Curtis Taylor, Jr. (Jamie Foxx) is a car salesman aching to make his mark in the music business - to form his own record label and get its sound heard on mainstream radio at a time when civil rights are still only a whisper in the streets. He just needs the angle, the right talent, the right product to sell.

(Keith Robinson), with hopes that talent and sheer desire will break them out of the only life that seems available to them.
They're young. They're beautiful. They're just what Curtis is looking for.
All they have to do is trust him.
