Andrew, a promising 19-year-old drummer, studies at a cutthroat Manhattan music conservatory. Haunted by his father’s failed career and plagued with the fear that mediocrity might be genetic, Andrew practices daily until his hands literally bleed. Under the guidance of Terence Fletcher, a brutally savage music instructor, Andrew begins to pursue perfection at any cost—even his humanity.
