A witness steps forward in 2007 before he looses his eyesight, finally bringing the bloody wallet of Bingo Zohar, a young white, promising rock n'roll singer, who was beaten to death in 1953. The orphan was raised by his conservative uncle Ed Valentine and worked in his music store, with black clerk Arthur 'Aces' Brown, sharing his taste for rock 'n roll, which the Valentines abhorred as barbaric, even undermining segregated society. When Ed's model son JP became the family's first college student, Bingo was 'promoted assistant manager', Aces fired another rock record having been found. Bingo dreamed of another future with his girl, but the Valentines scared her to pass for the risk of becoming a wilted rose if his talent didn't bring financial security as feared, although a song he wrote proved a hit for JP's new softy band. The team finds fatal jealousy the actual motive.
