It's 1945. American soldiers return home to ticker tape parades and overjoyed families; Private First Class Donny Novitski
singer and songwriter
returns with the hope of rebuilding his life with just the shirt on his back and a dream in his heart.
When NBC announces a national competition to find the nation's next swing band sensation
Donny joins forces with a motley group of fellow veterans
and together they form a band unlike any the nation has ever seen. However
complicated relationships
the demands of the competition
and the challenging after-effects of war may break these musicians. But
when Donny meets a beautiful
young singer named Julia
he finds the perfect harmony in words and music that could take this band of brothers all the way to the live radio broadcast finale in New York City. Victory will require every ounce of talent
stamina
and raw nerve that these musicians possess.
