Años 60. Cuando Tony Lip, un rudo italoamericano del Bronx, es contratado como chófer del virtuoso pianista negro Don Shirley durante una gira de conciertos por el Sur de Estados Unidos, deberá confiar en "El libro verde", una guía de los pocos establecimientos seguros para los afroamericanos, para encontrar alojamiento. Son dos personas que tendrán que hacer frente al racismo y los prejuicios, pero a las que la bondad y el sentido del humor unirán, obligándoles a dejar de lado las diferencias para sobrevivir y prosperar en el viaje de su vida.

"The Legend of Cool 'Disco' Dan" is the story of black Washington DC told from the perspective of Cool "Disco" Dan starting with his birth during the civil rights era and follows his life parallel with the rise of Go-Go music through the 1980s (which is the unheard but yet dominant urban music of DC) and also local DC politics with Marion Barry's rise and fall. Despite ending up homeless Cool "Disco" Dan used graffiti to escape the social problems D.C. had in the 1980s when things turned violent and became known as the Murder Capital of the United States. Cool "Disco" Dan ends up as a cult character of DC and his name becomes a symbol of survival during DC's most trying years.
