What is "Play On!" about?

Discover the challenges faced by a woman aspiring to thrive in a man's world. Meet Vy, a gifted songwriter aspiring to make it big in the smoky jazz clubs of Harlem. Despite her dreams initially being shattered by her uncle, Jester, who insists that women will never be taken seriously in a man's world, Vy refuses to succumb to defeat. Employing gender-fluid ingenuity, Vy encounters the enigmatic club owner, The Duke, and the sensational nightclub singer, Lady Liv. Soon, she becomes entangled in a syncopated symphony of melodies, mistaken identities, and romance. The question remains – who will emerge victorious in this captivating tale?
