Lucille Arnetta Love has always lived on the run. In her family's traveling band, Lucille was billed as The Little Girl with the Big Voice --- all to keep attention off the real reason the Loves had to flee across America. Unaware of the danger, Lucille dreamed of breaking out of the backwoods and being big enough for Broadway. Nearly 11 years after setting out on the road with her parents, Lucille is finally discovered by a young talent manager who whisks her away to chase her dreams. Miss Lucille's Black Troubadours are formed, and no one can hold a candle to them. But as opportunities grow stagnant and the band turns restless, personal demons haunt the Troubadours. Lucille's family secret is revealed, and it's a shock even to her: a decades-old robbery. Now the thieves from years' past have caught up with Lucille and are back for revenge.
