Doreen’s husband Army, however, has not come back as of three years after his discharge. It's only after Doreen finally meets a love interest that Army returns, different than when he left and displaying serious issues. Although their marriage died with Army's desertion, Doreen still feels obligated to him. Meanwhile, Odessa, Doreen’s mother and co-owner of O&D’s Boarding House, feels an undying need to save the orphaned doo-wop singers that meet under the streetlight. However, the adage ‘boys will be boys’ threaten the young singers' livelihoods. Their talent is their only hope for a brighter tomorrow.
