Sinners offers a unique blend of crime thriller, musical drama, and vampire horror, drawing inspiration from the legend of blues icon Robert Johnson, who is said to have sold his soul to the devil at the notorious Crossroads. In this narrative, the protagonist is young Sammie Moore, the son of a preacher, who showcases impressive guitar skills alongside a powerful, resonant voice. Sammie is set to be the star of a new juke joint that World War I veterans Smoke and Stack intend to establish after their return from Chicago, where they allegedly worked for Al Capone. The film addresses significant themes, particularly racism, as Smoke and Stack purchase the barn for their establishment from a balding white man whose demeanor suggests a connection to the Ku Klux Klan. However, the story also reveals a more insidious form of evil that masquerades as friendship, feigning admiration for one's music while ultimately seeking to exploit and drain one's talent for profit.
