Famed pianist, Fats Waller, is kidnapped and brought to The Hawthorne Inn where he discovers that he is to be primary entertainment for the infamous and dreadfully psychopathic mob boss, Al Capone. What follows over the course of the next three days, is a darkly humorous and often tense look into the shocking true story of the man who could possibly be the only person capable of hurting Al Capone.
