Bluesmen come from across the south to compete for the prize money. After Rufus Epps' death, the barn becomes deserted and the night of the blues is forgotten. Years after Rufus Epps' death, two bluesmen return to the barn. Cyril Dutty, who is dying, comes to search for his soul, which was taken from him by his father, a voodoo priest.
