What it’s about. Jazz-Musiker Chet Baker steht eine verheißungsvolle Karriere als Trompeter und Sänger bevor, für die er sogar das Angebot eines Hollywoodstudios ablehnt, also nicht die potentiell lukrative Laufbahn als Schauspieler einschlägt. Doch nach seinem Aufstieg in den Fünfzigern stürzt der „King of Cool“, der „James Dean of Jazz“ ebenso steil wieder ab – als Opfer seiner inneren Dämonen in einem Musikerleben voller Exzesse. Irgendwann spritzt sich Chet Heroin und als ihm eine Schlägerei starke Zahnprobleme beschert, sieht es so aus, als sei die Karriere endgültig vorbei. Aber nach dem Absturz Mitte der Sechziger lernt er Jane kennen. Chet verliebt sich, sie glaubt an ihn, er schöpft neue Kraft. Chets Leidenschaft und Janes Vertrauen in ihn ermöglichen das Comeback. Einige der besten Aufnahmen seiner Karriere entstehen…
