The story of the long troubled town of Asbury Park and how the power of music can unite a divided community. A once storied seaside resort Asbury Park erupted in flames during a summer of civil unrest crippling the town for the next 45 years and reducing it to a state of urban blight. A town literally divided by a set of railroad tracks the riot destroyed the fabled Westside jazz and blues scene but from the flames of the burning city emerged the iconic Jersey sound.
