Gary Clark Jr. costars as the guitar virtuoso who might be his ticket to success. Lisa Gay Hamilton. The film is based on Sayles' short story "Keeping Time.", Drama set in early 1950s Alabama. Things are far from harmonious in the small segregated town of Harmony, Alabama, as ageing club owner Tyrone 'Pine Top' Purvis tries to save his failing nightclub, The Honeydripper Lounge, from being taken over by local gangsters.
