A disillusioned music producer discovers a talented singer-songwriter performing in a small bar. He sees potential in her raw talent and proposes they make an album together. With no studio budget, they record the music in various outdoor locations around New York City, finding inspiration and redemption through the creative process and their shared love of music.
