In 1950s-era Alabama, Tyrone "Pine Top" Purvis (Danny Glover) is up to his eyeballs in debt, and the only way he can dig his way out is to get a huge crowd into his juke joint, the Honeydripper. With the much fancier place, Touissant's, just down the road getting all the attention, Tyrone fires his regular songbird, Bertha Mae (Mable John) and hires the legendary Guitar Sam to play for one night only. When Sam doesn't show, Tyrone tries to substitute a young nobody (Gary Clark Jr.) in his place and pass him off as the real deal.
