Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas star in this new music drama-charmer from the Irish director of Once, Begin Again and Sing Street that stems from a wedding singer’s chance encounter with a former boy-band pop star.

He’s soon sent into an existential crisis when his old unfinished power ballad becomes a comeback hit for Jonas without crediting him for the song. In relentless pursuit of fame, fortune, and the rockstar life he’s dreamed of having, he risks losing a grip on his real fortune—his wife, daughter, and cherished friends back home.
