Plot Summary In 2005, the only
thing hurting Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez more
than his face from a recent bike accident was his pressing
need for story ideas. That
is when he discovers Nathaniel Ayers, a mentally ill, homeless street musician
who possesses extraordinary talent, even through his half-broken instruments. Inspired by his
story, Lopez writes an acclaimed series of articles about
Ayers and attempts to do more to help both him and
the rest of the underclass of LA have a
better life. However, Lopez's good intentions run headlong in the
hard realities of the strength of Ayers' personal demons and
the larger social injustices facing the homeless. Regardless, Lopez
and Ayers must find a way to conquer their deepest anxieties
and frustrations to hope for a brighter future for both of
them.
