A deeply moving testament to human resilience and the indomitable will to create, following a musician who defies a terminal diagnosis through sheer determination and love.

When doctors diagnosed 19-year-old rock star Jason Becker with Lou Gehrig's Disease, they said he would never make music again and that he wouldn’t live to see his 25th birthday. 22 years later, without the ability to move or to speak, Jason is alive and making music with his eyes.
