Street vendor Marcia is scraping together a living in the ghetto section of Kingston, Jamaica. Her young daughter is being hounded by a rich sugar daddy who has been supporting the family; her brother's life is being threatened by a local thug. So, when the licentious patron threatens to abandon the family, and her brother breaks down under pressure, Marcia hits bottom. She needs to escape to a haven where she can get lost in fantasy; Marcia, don in sex-me-up clothing and outrageous glamour, finds refuge in the beats of the very dance hall outside of which she normally vends.

Kassa, un musicien jamaïcain, rencontre Serena, chanteuse de gospel, lors d'un concours de musique se déroulant à Kingston, et en tombe amoureux. Le père de la jeune femme, pasteur à ses heures, l'empêche de voir Kassa souhaitant par la même occasion la marier avec l'un des membres actifs de l'église.
