He was the electric prophet of the stadium-rock era until a rain-slicked highway turned his right hand into a ghost. She was the rising star of the Italian art world until the light went out in a flurry of shattered glass.
Oliver is a man waiting for his own funeral. Sentenced to community service at a fading center in the city, he expects to spend his days in a whiskey-soaked haze, mocking the seniors he's supposed to rehabilitate. Instead, he finds Ava, a woman who has built a fortress out of silence and sarcasm, living in a world of gray she refuses to accept.
To the world, they are a tragedy: a musician who can't play and an artist who can't see. But when Oliver strikes a silver note on a forgotten lap steel, Ava doesn't just hear it, she sees it. Through her synesthesia, his music becomes her palette, and her canvas becomes his resonance.
Bound by a shared disdain for pity and a desperate need for the unfiltered truth, they begin a dangerous collaboration. As they map a new topography of sound and color, they must navigate the shadows of their pasts, from a patronizing ex-lover determined to keep Ava framed in tragedy, to the terrifying reality of what happens when the court-ordered music stops.
In the space between the dark and the noise, they aren't looking for a cure. They're looking for the frequency that makes them feel alive again.
