Unfortunately, Elliott discovers that keeping his club afloat isn’t going to be an easy task. He gets involved with some unsavory loan sharks who will do whatever they need to for their money, even if that means harming Elliott or those he cares about most.
The show cast real Parisian musicians to play The Eddy’s house band and hired Grammy Award-winning composer Glen Ballard to create some of the series’ musical scores.
