Sam is an advertising executive whose life is torn apart by the death of his son. While combing through the son's belongings, Sam discovers the music compositions the boy left behind and begins to get to know his son anew through his songs. Sam is a former high-profile advertising executive whose life is torn apart by the sudden death of his son. Living off the grid on a docked sailboat, he wastes away his days while drowning his pain in alcohol. When Sam discovers a box filled with his son's demo tapes and lyrics, his own child's musical talent is a revelation for him, a grieving father yearning to reconnect with his son. He begins to explore his son's unknown talent, obsessively learning his songs, until one day he decides to play one of them at a local bar. The song captivates Quentin, a young musician in the audience, and the two unlikely friends decide to form a rock 'n' roll band called Rudderless that becomes surprisingly popular and revitalizes both of their lives.

It’s actually quite a small-scale movie depicting a life of a very ordinary person who is a part of this world just like me or the person reading this review. In any case, the humanity that William H. Macy shot this movie with is making it completely unique. The music is absolutely amazing and Bully Crudup along with Miles Heizer are outright showing off. And the unexpected mini-roles performed by Laurence Fishburne or Macy himself are sure to bring you joy. Personally, I was happy to finally see someone order wheat beer in an American bar in an American movie. A big thumbs up for Billy Crudup; he gets that it’ll give you a better buzz than a classic Bud Light. And maybe he even likes the taste, but he didn’t really tell us. What he did tell us, however, was all about his life after his son’s death. And the final scene was a cherry on top that underlined his life up until that point. It was a joy to watch the tense ending. I’d compare it to Whiplash which made me lose sleep because of how full of emotions I was; it was the same here.
