Music is Simon’s life — which is why he is devastated when a stroke destroys his hearing. He resists attempts to help him adjust to his new state refusing to be counseled refusing to learn sign language refusing to have anything to do with Deaf culture. Refusing that is until he meets G a tough-as-nails girl dealing with her own newly experienced deafness.
