Leo Woodall (The White Lotus) plays Niki, a gifted young former pianist whose music career was derailed by hyperacusis - a rare condition that makes everyday sounds overwhelmingly amplified and painful. To cope with the noisy city, he works quietly around New York alongside his seasoned mentor, Harry (played brilliantly by Dustin Hoffman), servicing Steinway pianos for the wealthy and ignorant elite.
But Niki's life takes a sharp turn when he stumbles into an active burglary while working late at a client's home. Forced to become involved, he discovers that his hyper-sensitive hearing makes him exceptionally talented at cracking complex mechanical safes.
