Set in 1947, follow Donny Novitski, a war veteran and talented musician, as he dreams of winning a national swing band competition with his fellow veterans. When war widow Julia Trojan joins the group, their music becomes a path toward healing and hope. Through soaring melodies and authentic 1940s big band sound, discover that the greatest battles are sometimes the ones fought after the war ends.
