Chicago, 1936.
Harold May (Jeremy Piven) is a gifted but unlucky tap dancer who, along with his troupe, Benny (Adam Garcia), Paul (Isaac Grya) and Carol (Maimie McCoy), are still waiting for their big break.
When Harold receives an invitation to perform a series of shows in Budapest, he’s excited – they’re real shows with a real audience.
But Benny has big doubts.
Harold’s Jewish.
Jews are fleeing Europe, not going back, he’s concerned it’s not safe.
But with typical American hubris, Harold prides himself on his lifelong ability to pass as a gentile.
