Danisha is an African Canadian girl in grade 8 whose strict grandmother reveals (through her failing memory) an exotic past life. As her memory drifts,she believes she is a jazz singer in a Detroit lounge in the 1940's, a time when mixed relationships were frowned on and often gangsters ruled the music scene. When Danisha's father tells her he thinks there's a scandal in his mother's past, Danisha sets out to solve the mystery.
Parallels between her own life and her grandmother's emerge; an unhealthy attraction to bad boys, a singing talen that matches her Gram's and a stubbornness that prevents her from telling the truth.
