Blues singer, Misty Lightfoot, has seen her share of hard times. At eighteen she leaves her small town of Dawson, Georgia with only her suitcase and Fender guitar. In Atlanta, she joins the Electric Indian Band and marries the drummer, Parker, who is half Cherokee. But after the band breaks up, he boards another bands bus, leaving her without knowing she is pregnant with twins. Ten years later, Misty Blue and the Delta Street Band are the hottest act on Memphis Beale Street until they are lured to Los Angeles with promises of stardom. But a year later, the spotlight has faded, the band is gone and she is destitute. Misty and her ten-year-old twins, Riley and Ramona, catch a ride back to Memphis with an ex-biker, Hal Cartner, who has his own agenda. The wheels come off in Amarillo. After Hal attempts to rape Misty, she accidentally kills him, realizes that he was transporting a million dollars in counterfeit money, and that his brother, Sammy, not only wants the funny money back, but he also wants revenge for his brothers death. Desperate, she stops in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, where she and her twins are reunited with Parkers father, Lowell Lightfoot, an aging, cagey Cherokee who is determined to remove the dark aura he sees around her. It is there, in the scenic hills of eastern Oklahoma, that Mistys past and present must collide before her road will lead her home to Memphis, back to the spotlight on Beale Street and back to the new love in her life.
