In an Oscar-nominated performance, Riz Ahmed (Venom) plays a heavy-metal drummer who faces a future of silence when he starts to lose his hearing in the directorial feature debut from the co-writer of The Place Beyond the Pines. Co-stars Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One) and Paul Raci, who was also nominated for an Oscar.
During a series of adrenaline-fueled one-night gigs, itinerant punk-metal drummer Ruben (Ahmed) begins to experience intermittent hearing loss. When a specialist tells him his condition will rapidly worsen, he thinks his music career — and with it his life — is over. His bandmate and girlfriend Lou (Cooke) checks the recovering heroin addict into a secluded sober house for the deaf in hopes it will prevent a relapse and help him learn to adapt to his new situation. But after being welcomed into a community that accepts him just as he is, Ruben has to choose between his equilibrium and the drive to reclaim the life he once knew.
