The Spirit of Jelly Roll Morton tells a story that revolves around young Zack, who leaves his dysfunctional, rural Louisiana home, and hitch-hikes to New Orleans and there is befriended by a soiree of colorful characters: Some Guy Upstairs, a Mardi Gras bead artist; Martha, who has left the medical profession to become a Downtown Queen; the Chemical Sisters, a duo hell bent on changing the world; and others, all of whom reside at the hotel.
