Synopsis:

DARK STREETS is a stylish noir fever dream of blues music, seduction, and murder.

Set in a visually dazzling fantasy of the 1930's, DARK STREETS is the story of Chaz Davenport (Gabriel Mann), a dashing but naive playboy who owns the hottest new nightclub in town - "The Tower". Surrounded by the blues music he adores, and caught in a triangle between two gorgeous singers at the club (Bijou Phillips and Izabella Miko), Chaz is the envy of every man; but his charmed life is spiraling out of control. He's up to his neck in bad debts and bad choices, which threaten to bring his dream world crashing down. The unexpected suicide of his father only seems more mysterious and strange, the more Chaz looks into it. As Chaz is drawn deeper into a web of lies and betrayal, he no longer knows who to trust or who to fear.

The film features 12 original songs composed by James Compton and Tim Brown, with dance numbers choreographed by Keith Young (known for RENT). The song & dance numbers feature the beautiful Phillips and Miko, as well as underground performer Toledo, and a stage full of L.A.'s most talented dancers. Original off-camera songs are sung by some of the best contemporary blues artists alive today, including Dr. John, Etta James, Natalie Cole, Aaron Neville, Solomon Burke and Richie Sambora; and the film's rich blues score, composed by George Acogny, also features contributions from BB King and Richie Sambora.

DARK STREETS is a unique, music-driven feast for the eyes and ears.
