Welcome to Soul City, where roses bloom in the cracks of the sidewalk along Cornbread Boulevard, musical genres become political platforms and children use their pocket money to buy records from the Vinyl Man. It's an unusually peaceful and magical community with a strong heritage and sense of unity - at least that's how journalist Cadillac Jackson first finds it. When Jackson visits Soul City on a magazine assignment, a mayoral election is imminent and candidates from opposing parties are battling to control the city's soundtrack. Amidst the increasingly hostile campaign, Cadillac falls for Mahogany Sunflower, a beautiful Soul Citizen, and begins a struggle to shed his embattled Black American identity he's been taught to adopt. What he discovers reveals as much about himself as it does about human nature and the meaning of race in America.

Industry Reviews

"Inventive, edgy, sexy, magical, whimsical, funny and smart stuff that challenges the stereotype of black people, [it] displays the beauty of black speech, and manages to sneak in the politics of race. The ride is wild!" - Terry McMillan"
