About

In the early 1960s, a quintet of hopeful, young African-American men form an amateur vocal group called The Five Heartbeats. After an initially rocky start, the group improves, turns pro, and rises to become a top flight music sensation. Along the way, however, the guys learn many hard lessons about the reality of the music industry.

Can five distinct voices harmonize long enough to conquer the charts without tearing the brotherhood apart? This soulful journey tracks the volatile climb from basement rehearsals to sold-out arenas, capturing both the euphoria of fame and the heavy cost of ambition.
