Ruben (Riz Ahmed) and Lou (Olivia Cooke) live together, two nomads travelling gig to gig on an endless American tour.

He is suddenly overcome by anxiety, depression, and soon enough his past addictions begin to surface. He checks himself into a home for deaf addicts run by an eccentric deaf veteran, Joe. In this world of silence and under Joe’s tough, observant care, Ruben must confront himself more honestly than ever before. But the love and sound of his old life echoes in his mind, calling for him to return…
