In a Depression-era
Harlem apartment building, a close-knit group of friends has become a chosen family. New
roommates Angel and Guy — a recently fired blues singer
and a promising costume designer with Paris in his sights — live across the hall from Delia, a social worker
who sparks a relationship with the hardworking doctor Sam.
Their lives are upturned when Southern
newcomer Leland arrives and falls hard for
Angel, who is torn between a stable life in New York City
and an exhilarating overseas adventure with Guy. Angel chooses her path, but
the decision leads to devastating
consequences that shift the trajectory
of everyone’s futures and long-held dreams.
