In the heart of 1920s Harlem, where smoke curls from jazz lounges and revolution stirs beneath velvet shadows, Lena Dupree sings not for applause—but to survive. A gifted voice caged by the expectations of others, she performs for a world that wants her polished and quiet. But Lena is done playing safe. She aches to be heard, raw and unfiltered, even if it costs her everything.

Enter Malcolm Kingsley—a sharp-witted political organizer with fire in his veins and enemies at his heels. Drawn to Lena’s voice and the power simmering beneath her silence, he pulls her into his world of hidden meetings and dangerous truths. Together, their chemistry becomes its own kind of music—aching, defiant, and impossible to ignore.

But as protests erupt and the system closes in, choices must be made. Lena's voice could spark change—or destroy the fragile safety she’s fought to maintain. And Malcolm’s passion for justice may put him on a path where love is a luxury he can’t afford.

Can two souls, born from struggle and rhythm, find harmony in each other? Or will the noise of the world drown them out before they have the chance to truly sing?

When the city demands silence, will they risk everything to be heard?
