A heavy metal drummer's life is thrown into free fall when he begins to lose his hearing. Living on the road with his bandmate and girlfriend, he relies on his sense of hearing not just for his livelihood and passion, but for his very way of life. As the auditory world starts to fade, the drummer is thrust into a terrifyingly silent space, grappling with a reality where the sounds he once mastered are slipping away. Denial and frustration give way to desperation as he seeks out any medical solution that could salvage his hearing.

In pursuit of stability and hoping to regain control, the drummer checks into a secluded sober house for the deaf, where he is forced to confront his situation head-on. Pushed to learn sign language and integrate into a community that embraces deafness rather than views it as a handicap, he struggles with his inner turmoil. The sober house's approach and philosophy challenge him to consider what it means to accept a new identity, and whether the loss of one aspect of his life could lead to the discovery of another. The process is transformative, pushing him to the edges of his comfort zone and demanding a reevaluation of what he values most.
