Steve Lopez is at a dead end. His marriage to a fellow journalist has fallen apart, and he can’t entirely remember what he loved about his job in the first place. Then, one day, while walking through Los Angeles Skid Row, he sees the mysterious Nathaniel Ayers, pouring his soul into a two-stringed violin. But as he begins to unearth the mystery of how this alternately brilliant and distracted street musician, once a dynamic prodigy headed for fame, wound up living in tunnels and doorways, it sparks an unexpected quest. Imagining he can change Ayers’ life, he embarks on a quixotic mission to get him off the streets and back to the world of music.
