A Los Angeles journalist befriends a homeless Juilliard-trained musician, while looking for a new article for the paper.
A raw, heartbreaking portrayal of schizophrenia captures the chaotic brilliance of a man lost to the streets. This unexpected friendship between a driven reporter and a broken cellist finds its soul in the jagged notes of a cello.
