In the 1960s, while America was in the throes of race riots, five people from diverse backgrounds came together in Philadelphia to create a new sound: Philly Soul. Its home, Sigma Sound Studio, was a place that drew Chubby Checker, The O'Jays, Stevie Wonder and many more. This film tells its amazing story.

D'un côté, Louis Winthorpe III, un jeune directeur, est chargé des investissements chez Duke & Duke, une puissante banque de Philadelphie. De l'autre, Billy Ray Valentine est un noir combinard mais fauché. Tous deux vont faire l'objet d'un pari insensé, passé entre les patrons de Louis.
