“Sinners,” set in 1932, stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual performance as twin bootleggers Smoke and Stack, who return from Chicago to their Mississippi home to open a juke joint.

The juke joint in Clarksdale, Mississippi is one of the last of its kind in the region, a landmark for a bygone era of American music.

Not long after Sammie returns us to Earth, the contrast to this dream state shows up at the juke joint’s door — three white strangers asking to join the party.
