| This story, structured like a traditional 12-bar Blues song, with three sections - each made of four chapters - follows Blues musician Lem Taylor's harrowing journey across Arkansas of the late twenties, hunted for a crime he didn't commit. In volume one, he and his Blues companion find a gig in a "juke" outside a small town.
Their music takes it by storm, leading even a well-connected man offering a recording session. However, that night, they accept the invitation of two ladies to go home with them. This turns out to be a fatal mistake, as one of the ladies' lovers, a white man who happens to belong to a powerful bootlegging family, shows up unexpectedly. The result of which is a triple murder with only Lem and his lady friend left standing.
