Set against the backdrop of the 1960s segregated South, the narrative chronicles the rise and fall of Stax Records, a symbol of racial harmony. The journey begins with a white brother and sister who create a groundbreaking record company, achieving remarkable success. However, personal and business losses lead to their separation, and the brother partners with an African-American visionary, propelling Stax to national prominence. Ultimately, the company faces a tragic downfall, but years later, it is reborn, revitalizing music and opportunity in Memphis.
