Bookroo's summary

Lee, once a jazz pianist, loses his hearing and his job. At a school for the deaf, he meets Max, a former sax player. Together, they form a unique sign language band with Rose, a bass player. Performing in subways, they redefine music and challenge perceptions. Can they prove that music transcends sound?
