Vinnie is a washed-up, troubled former teen-boy band singer. His band (à La Backstreet Boys) was 20 years ago. Now, he patrols the streets with his keyboard propped up on ironing board, since his stand is broken. He hopes to create a buzz playing new compositions in the street. By chance, he encounters Stevie, a kind but slightly autistic sort, who likes to play along on percussion. The two hit it off and soon, they get a few gigs, despite the non-approval of the kid's protective mom.
However, conflicts and shortcomings arise, and Vinnie must navigate through these minefields to find his way in life. Eventually, he gets some breaks career-wise and must choose between a big comeback for himself or something less for his partnership with Stevie. The story dwells on the down side of things a bit too much, but overall, this is a feel-good movie.
