Fiction
In 1963, at the age of 17, Dwayne Hallston discovers James
Brown and wants to perform just like him. His band, the
Amazing Rumblers, studies and rehearses Brown's Live at the
Apollo album in the storage room of his father's shop in
their small North Carolina town. Meanwhile, Dwayne's
forbidden black friend Larry--aspiring to play piano like
Thelonius Monk--apprentices to a jazz musician called the
Bleeder. His mother hopes music will allow him to escape the
South. A dancing chicken and a mutual passion for music help Dwayne
and Larry as they try to achieve their dreams and maintain
their friendship, even while their world says both are
impossible. In THE NIGHT TRAIN, Edgerton's trademark humor
reminds us of our divided national history and the way music
has helped bring us together.
