As a young girl, Phoenix Smalls almost died when a piano nearly crushed her. Fourteen years later, Phoenix is an R & B singer on the cusp of stardom, anxiously awaiting the release of her debut album, Rising. While working in St. Louis, she happens upon the old piano again, setting off a series of haunting, erotic, encounters with the spirit of Jazz Legend Scott Joplin. Now, the pressures of fame, and a ghost seeking to live forever, threaten to end Phoenix's career--and life--before it can take flight.
