During a series of adrenaline-fuelled one-night gigs, drummer Ruben (Riz Ahmed) begins to experience episodes of hearing loss. When a specialist tells him his condition will worsen, he
believes his career and life are over.

His girlfriend persuades him to check into a special recovery unit for the deaf in the hope that it will help him adapt to his new situation. It is a desperately difficult time but eventually
he accepts that he can never reclaim his past life.

Innovative sound design techniques are used to vividly recreate Ruben’s auditory experiences.
