Synopsis
Sacrifices must be made to make it to the top of the music world. No one knows this better than Dixon James, who promised his wife they would get there. In this haunting message of hope and despair, mother and daughter singers have been separated for over twenty years by race, wealth, fame, and a heroin addiction. They long to find one another.... Before it’s too late. In the tradition of a Greek tragedy, the journey is never straightforward.
