Born into a poor sharecropping family in Mississippi, Robert longs to be a famed musician and escape a life of labor. After experiencing a heartbreaking loss, Robert feels he has nothing to loose when he is approached by a mysterious man who offers him a deal: all of his heart's wishes in exchange for his soul. Taking the deal, Robert is thrust into stardom. Torn between the life he dreamt of and the family he left behind, Robert must weigh what really matters in the short time one has to live.
