RHAPSODY IN BLUE
About
In the shadowy underbelly of 1930s Chicago, where the whispers of jazz intertwine with the echoes of gunfire, Harry Fagan trudges through a life soaked in blood and deceit. A hit-man for an Irish gang entrenched in bootlegging, Harry wears his world-weariness like an old coat—one that shields him from the warmth of connection yet clings to him in suffocating heaviness. On his nights off, he seeks solace in a hidden speakeasy, a vibrant haven buzzing with laughter and melody, where the not-so-forgotten rhythms of the city resonate with every soulful note.
Enter Evangeline, a sultry jazz singer whose voice drips with the kind of bittersweet longing that can only be born from a life strewn with dreams deferred. In her mid-forties and unapologetically seasoned, she captures Harry’s attention with sultry renditions of love and loss, igniting an unexpected spark deep within his guarded heart.
When their paths cross one fateful night under the twinkling lights of the speakeasy, a brief encounter culminates into an intoxicating connection that leaves them both breathless. Yet, in the hard-edged world of mobsters and danger, one night can spiral into a lifetime of consequences. As they navigate the perilous landscape of their separate lives, will Harry’s shadow ultimately suffocate the bright light Evangeline has ignited within him?
