Niki White (Leo Woodall) works as an apprentice to Harry Horowitz (Dustin Hoffman), a piano tuner and an old friend of his late father. Harry and his wife Marla (Tovah Feldshuh) love Niki like their own nephew. Niki was once a child prodigy, but his future was cut short by a diagnosis of hyperacusis, a condition that causes extreme sensitivity to sound, where loud noises trigger severe physical pain.

With no current cure or treatment for the condition, Niki has abandoned his dreams of performing and now relies on hearing protection to navigate everyday life. To help him, Harry has taken Niki under his wing, training the young man to become a piano tuner like himself. Despite the diagnosis, Harry remains hopeful that Niki will one day return to piano, often reminding him that he is the most gifted pianist he has ever heard.
