Summary
Set against the atmospheric backdrop of New York City in the autumn of 1993, the story follows Quinn, a twenty-four-year-old barista and closeted musician working at the iconic East Village café, Sin-é. Her quiet, observant life shifts dramatically when she shares an intimate, impromptu musical moment in a cramped back hallway with Jeff Buckley, a rising musician whose raw talent and deep sensitivity instantly captivate her.
What begins as a chance encounter over a shared chocolate croissant and an open D guitar tuning quickly evolves into a profound connection. As Jeff’s musical career begins to take flight from the café's tiny stage, Quinn finds the courage to step out of the background. Bonded by their shared philosophy on music and a mutual need for sanctuary from the chaotic noise of the city, they navigate the evolving 90s indie music scene, ultimately falling deeply in love and learning to harmonize their lives both on and off the stage.
