El film narra la historia verídica de Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx), un prodigioso violinista que en su segundo año de conservatorio desarrolló esquizofrenia y acabó viviendo en la calle, en donde fue descubierto por el periodista de Los Angeles Times Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.) en el año 2005. Impresionado por su talento, López, que también pasaba una mala época en su vida, escribió una serie de artículos sobre Nathaniel que lo sacó del anonimato, acercándolo a su sueño de tocar en el Disney Concert Hall.
In 2005, the only thing hurting Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez more than his face from a recent bike accident was his pressing need for story ideas. That is when he discovers Nathaniel Ayers, a mentally ill, homeless street musician who possesses extraordinary talent, even through his half-broken instruments. Inspired by his story, Lopez writes an acclaimed series of articles about Ayers and attempts to do more to help both him and the rest of the underclass of LA have a better life. However, Lopez's good intentions run headlong in the hard realities of the strength of Ayers' personal demons and the larger social injustices facing the homeless. Regardless, Lopez and Ayers must find a way to conquer their deepest anxieties and frustrations to hope for a brighter future for both of them.
