Romain Duris (Russian Dolls) is Tom. A palpable anger rumbles beneath his nervous exterior - detached, destructive but fired up with a preoccupation to rekindle a passion lost. Tom’s working for his delinquent father and seems doomed to follow in his sinister footsteps. That is until a chance encounter with the former manager of his concert pianist mother, who offers him a chance to audition. Though ten years absent from the instrument, Tom obsesses over recapturing his forgotten talent. He does so battling his own frustrations and pressure to participate father’s violent business feuds.
