In "A Love Song for Bobby Long", a young woman named Pursy May (Scarlett Johansson) returns to New Orleans after the unexpected passing of her estranged mother, who had abandoned her years ago. Pursy is determined to reclaim her family's old jazz club, which has been left in disarray by her mother's neglect. Upon arrival, Pursy discovers that her mother's partner, Duke (John Travolta), a charismatic but troubled musician, has taken over the club and is refusing to let her have any control. This sparks a heated conflict between the two, as Pursy seeks to reassert her claim on the property. As Pursy navigates this complicated situation, she also finds herself drawn to Bobby Long (Gabriel Byrne), a grizzled but lovable jazz legend who has been a fixture in New Orleans for decades.
