Description
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.
