Writing songs in his bedroom, 24 year-old Tai Vuong wonders if there's a day he can share his music without pretending to be someone he's not. His power to manipulate people's opinions doesn't help-it's a reminder that he would never meet the expectations of others. 

But as Tai meets more people and ordinary things add up to extraordinary circumstances, he realizes he doesn't want to change who he is. He needs to change how he sees himself. 

Set in the heart of Toronto, Backstage follows an autistic musician's journey to discovering what it means to be yourself.
