Sinners

Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan as the twins Smoke and Stack, who have returned to Clarksdale, Miss., intent on opening a juke joint after working for (and ripping off) Al Capone’s Chicago Outfit. Their cousin Sammie, a pastor’s son known as Preacher Boy (played by newcomer Miles Caton), is an aspiring musician; his father warns that the blues is supernatural, but the boy is set on leaving town and pursuing a career as a singer and guitarist. The would-be bluesman tags along as the twins split up and ride around Clarksdale, a hometown from which they are notably estranged, setting up for the juke in a sawmill purchased from a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
