Synopsis

Gilda Harris (Gillie) is an incorrigible young African American woman living in rural Georgia during mid 1920's and early 30's struggling to find meaning in her life after the death of her mother. Soon Gilda's intuitive nature eventually leads her and her friends Julia Freeman and James Fisher (Po Fisher) on a timeline into a world filled with loyalty, love and deception. This world opens up the historical events of its time as it brings some very cunning, charismatic, and even dangerous characters to life. These events unveil personal experiences of social and racial degradation of the South as well as the successful business of Speak Easy's and infamous Brothels along the southern Gulf of the United States. Never in a million years did Gilda think that her lifelong passion for the Jazz and Blues would catapult her and her friends into the dangerous and corrupt underworld of bootleggers and mobsters. However her experiences soon bring Gilda to the realization that it is the people that she loves and love her in return that really brings happiness and meaning to her life.
