1934. The Mob Played Kansas City Like A Smooth Jazz Riff. Until One Woman Started
To
Improvise
The mob runs the dice
games, prostitutes, cops and politicians.
And no one messes with them.
But when a
small time hood gets the bright
idea to
knock over a
buddy of the city's
top gangster, a
club owner named Seldom Seen (Harry Belafonte), he crosses the wrong
man and finds
himself in
deeper trouble than he could ever imagine. Now it's up to
Blondie O'Hara (Jennifer Jason Leigh), his tough-talking girlfriend, to
come to
his rescue. Her solution? Kidnap a
wealthy presidential advisor's wife (Miranda Richardson) and swap
her for
her boyfriend.
Kidnapping, murder and mayhem
- all fueled by the most
impressive, star-studded cinematic jazz sessions ever shown on screen.
