Louisiana, 1933. Once hailed as "The Godmother of Blues," Norma Ann Waters was the voice of a generation — her name in lights from New Orleans to Memphis. Now, the bookings have dried up, the crowds have moved on, and the music world is hungry for something new.

​

When a prestigious theater offers Norma a shot at revival — on their terms — she finds herself at a crossroads: bend to the demands of a changing industry, or hold fast to the music that made her. With her loyal manager Ray fighting to keep her career alive and a gifted young songwriter who believes in the sound she was born to sing, Norma must decide what she's willing to sacrifice to reclaim what was taken from her.

​

Rooted in the soul of the Deep South and set against the backdrop of the Swing Era, Norma is a story about artistic integrity, the courage to stay true to yourself when the world demands otherwise, and the enduring power of a voice that refuses to be silenced.

​

Some voices can't be dimmed.

Some flames won't go out.
