Amid the sparkle and hum of a New York City winter, Jed and his best friend Flyer are filming a documentary about their neighbourhood. But what Jed is really in search of is his big brother Zeke, an inspiring soul who loved jazzman Charlie 'Bird' Parker, wrote electrifying poetry and died too young.
When Jed encounters a mysterious homeless person he thinks holds the key to connecting him to Zeke, it could be the only way to unlock his deepest sorrow and discover how to be - and who to be - on his own.
