520 |a Seth is awkward and shy; Carter is the glamorous heir to one of America's great fortunes. They have one thing in common: an obsession with music. Seth is desperate to reach for the future; Carter is slipping back into the past. When Seth accidentally records an unknown singer in a New York park, Carter sends it out over the Internet, claiming it's a long lost 1920s blues recording by a musician called Charlie Shaw. When an old collector contacts them to say that their fake record and their fake bluesman are actually real, the two encounter a suppressed history of greed, envy, revenge, and exploitation.
