it's based on E.L Doctorow's novel, Ragtime. it intertwines the stories of three families, as they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America. It takes place in the 1900s (1900-1910).

Ragtime music actually began as dance music in the red-light districts of African American communities. Its main characteristic trait is its "ragged" rhythm.
