“You're only as strong as your next move.”

Dan Mulligan (Mark Ruffalo) is a record label executive whose career has gone sour, and he catches Gretta James (Keira Knightley) singing at a small New York club after her boyfriend Dave (Adam Levine) leaves her. John Carney, who made Once, has them record an album outdoors, on rooftops and streets across the city. Two people at a low point start working side by side, and neither one says what that is turning into.
