Frank is a widower who owns a record shop in Red Hook, a Brooklyn neighborhood far removed from the bustle of Manhattan. If you go to Red Hook, you can feel the past of rock and roll, when vinyl was all we had and the quality of an artist was judged on their boy of work. However, it is unsustainable, and as with all things, the winds of gentrification are blowing. So Red Hook is closing and his daughter is going far away to college.
Before she goes, they record a song that she has written, and Frank, on a whim, uploads it to Spotify, and sometime later it ends up on an indy music play list. He starts to get performance fever, the thought that he and his daughter could make it big, that she wouldn't have to leave, they could just play music, and he runs with that for a while, but then they settle back into the real world, a bit grumpily, and move on.
