Trailer
Vince is trying to get people to listen to his solo album but nobody seems to be interested in his music. Defeated, he sets up his station on a park bench to practice. There, he meets a young boy playing on the bench with his drumsticks. The two seem to have a connection. They decide to collaborate to achieve both of their goals: to release new music and to go to music school. Things are not easy for them, though.
