    • Synopsis
    • Riz Ahmed is a noise metal drummer. Shirtless and full of coiled intensity, he hammers out ferocious sets with his girlfriend and bandmate (Olivia Cooke). But with each show, a persistent ringing in his ears worsens until sound drops out altogether. For a deaf musician and his partner who've built their precarious existence doing what they know and love, what happens now? If he can't recover his hearing, who will he become?
