Ruby's Bucket of Blood

Ruby Delacroix (Angela Bassett) owns a popular juke joint on the Louisiana bayou, circa 1960. When she loses her star performer, she reluctantly hires a white singer, Billy Dupre (Kevin Anderson), as a replacement. But what she doesn't bargain for is falling in love with him. Unfortunately, in the Deep South, amid the first rumblings of the Civil Rights movement, Delacroix and Dupre's inflamed passion isn't a simple case of black and white.
