Set in the turbulent South in the 1950s, Memphis is the story of Huey
Calhoun, a white radio DJ whose love of good music transcends race lines
and airwaves. Thanks in part to his passionate persistence, "race" music
reaches the center of the radio dial, quickly exploding throughout
mainstream America. But when Huey falls for a beautiful black singer he
has set on the path to stardom, whether the world is really ready for
this music, and their love, is put to the test.
