A gifted jazz pianist nicknamed Ghost leads a small combo that lives for the music—and lives hand-to-mouth. When a seductive singer and a slick promoter pull him toward bigger stages and faster money, Ghost finds his hard-won ideals colliding with the compromises that come with fame.
As the band fractures under pressure and a turbulent romance threatens to consume him, Ghost must decide what matters more: protecting the sound that defines him or chasing the success others say he deserves. In the smoky after-hours world where loyalty is fragile and love is complicated, one wrong move can turn a life into the blues.
