In the early 1970s, an exiled Korean rock star, Lee Sang-Bin, seizes a path to redemption and relevancy when he’s serendipitously charged with running the first Asian nightclub in Toronto. Amidst the backdrop of tumultuous cultural change and boiling racial tensions in the city, Sang-Bin must reckon with his past, while unexpectedly navigating the future of the city. Inspired by the true events surrounding the founding of the now-iconic Toronto rock hall, Lee’s Palace, this six-episode drama is a wide-screen portrait of the immigrant experience, the enduring armor of love, and the power of music when it’s coursing through your veins.
