When his lover takes away his son, hes left only with his Beale Street bar. He hires a young waitress named Fay Taft, who brings with her a desperate, dangerous brother, Carl, and the possibility of new intimacy. Nickel finds himself consumed with Fay and Carls dead father Taftobsessing over and reconstructing the life of a man he never met.

A stunning artistic achievement,
