Whether you look over the sea of love or find yourself walking along the dock of the bay, you may drive down the highways of my life heading for the valley of the lonely or wander towards the dark en of the street.

A story of power, deceit, love in its many shapes, betrayal and tragedy. Linking the characters is the spirit of the city, Soul Man, chartering a path that would damage the music forever.
