Malcolm D. Lee directs this musical comedy drama. Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac star as Louis Hinds and Floyd Henderson, two former soul backing singers who reluctantly agree to come out of retirement to perform at a tribute concert for their recently deceased lead singer Marcus Hooks (John Legend). The two men, who have not spoken to each other since Floyd had a relationship with Louis's wife two decades earlier, embark on a road trip from L.A. to New York during which they must renew their friendship, rediscover their soul voices and reconcile with the past in time for their big performance at the Apollo.
