In 1947 Chicago, Polish emigrant and bar owner Leonard Chess hires a blues combo that includes guitarist Muddy Waters and harmonica player Little Walter . Waters' and Walter's success leads to Chess' management of stars Etta James, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry and others. Inevitably, business and personal lines blur as the sometimes-turbulent lives of the musicians play out.
