SYNOPSIS: Once close, Gabriel (Pucci) and his father Henry (Simmons) have spent the last 20 years estranged from one another. But after Gabriel is diagnosed with a brain tumor that doesn’t allow his mind to create new memories, he must return home to his family. Desperate to reconnect with his son, Henry hires Dianne (Ormond), a music therapist to help engage Gabriel. Raw and emotional, the father and son are finally able to find a common bond through classic rock music in this touching film that “honors the ability of music to heal” (The Hollywood Reporter).
