The time is August 2005. A teenage New Orleans brass band, playing borrowed and taped-together instruments on the corner of Bourbon and Canal Streets, is on the verge of going from the Big Easy to the Big Time. Hurricane Katrina had another idea. The hurricane shattered the band and drowned everything they had—except their spirits. This inspiring story, infused with vital music that captures New Orleans’s heart and soul, is an intimate portrait of the band’s emotional journey to try to overcome nature’s fury by reuniting the band members.
