Chronicles a true to life story of how the small music recording studio of Chess Records, located on the south side of Chicago, began recording blues music with Muddy Waters (Jeffrey Wright) and Little Walter (Columbus Short) in 1947, and eventually gave birth to rock and roll in 1955 with Chuck Berry (Mos Def). In a tale of sex, violence, race tossed up with rock and roll in Chicago during the 1950s and 60s, the film follows the exciting but turbulent lives of some of America's greatest musical legends.
