When orphaned Dave is sent to New York\'s Hebrew Home for Boys in 1926 where he is treated cruelly, he sneaks out at Night and is welcomed into the music and culture-filled world of the Harlem Renaissance.
Perhaps somewhere, among it all, Dave can find a place that feels like home..
Inside, another world unfolds, thick with rare friendships and bitter enemies.
Outside the gates of the orphanage, the nighttime streets of Harlem buzz with jazz musicians and swindlers; exclusive parties and mystifying strangers.
But it\'s not that simple.
If it doesn\'t work out, he\'ll just leave, find a better place to stay.
He always is.
He knows he\'ll be okay.
But he\'s not so worried.
Dave lands in an orphanage--the cold and strict Hebrew Home for Boys in Harlem--far from the life he knew on the Lower East Side.
And then it happens.
When his father dies, Dave knows nothing will ever be thesame.
If nobody wants him, that\'s fine.
He\'ll just take care of himself.
