SCENE
Jake Blues is released from prison. He is picked up by his blood brother Elwood in his Bluesmobile.
OVERVIEW
Jake Blues is just out of jail, and teams up with his brother, Elwood on a 'mission from God' to raise funds for the orphanage in which they grew up. The only thing they can do is do what they do best: play music. So they get their old band together, and set out on their way—while getting in a bit of trouble here and there.
