Portrait of Lee Moses, highly gifted deep soul singer and songwriter long forgotten by his hometown Atlanta.

It was a commercial failure forcing Lee Moses to return to his hometown to never record again. What happened to the man nicknamed the “Duke of Soul” ?
This is the portrait of a man who was a good friend, a brother and a top-notch musician. Through his music, life and hometown, this is a featured documentary about the life and death of Lee Moses.
