''The year is 1921, and America is burning. A fire of vice and virtue rages on every shore with Chicago at its beating heart.'' Twenty-year-old Nelly Sawyer is the daughter of the alleged ''wealthiest Negro in America,'' whose wealth catapulted his family to the heights of Black society.
After the unexpected death of her brother, Nelly becomes the premier debutante overnight. But Nelly has aspirations beyond marriage. For the past year, she has worked undercover as an investigative journalist, sharing the achievements and tribulations of everyday Black people living in the shadow of Jim Crow.
Now, her latest assignment thrusts her into the den of a dangerous vice lord: the so-called Mayor of Maxwell Street. Born in rural Alabama to a murdered biracial couple, Jay Shorey knows firsthand what it means to be denied a chance at the American dream. When a tragic turn of fate gave Jay a rare path out, he took it without question.
He washed up on Chicago''s storied shores and forged his own way to the top of the city''s nefarious underworld, but all the while, Jay yearns to escape from the crime syndicate and into high society. When Nelly''s and Jay''s paths cross, she recruits him to help expose the Mayor.
But Jay also introduces a whole new world to Nelly, one where her horizons can extend beyond the confines of her ivory tower. Trapped between the monolith of Jim Crow, the inflexible world of the Black upper class, and the violence of Prohibition-era Chicago, Jay and Nelly work together and stoke the flames of a love worth fighting for.
And yet, as with all things in America, there is a price to be paid. What risk is Nelly willing to take for a young man willing to risk it all?
