Dai Miyamoto's life is turned upside down the day he discovers jazz. A former high school basketball player, Dai picks up a saxophone and begins practicing day and night, determined to become great. He leaves his sleepy hometown for the bustling nightclubs of Tokyo, but soon finds the life of a professional musician is not for the faint of heart. His passion wins over a cocky but talented pianist, and after Dai convinces a friend to learn the drums, they launch a new jazz trio whose rough sound contains a raw energy that wins over local audiences. But what does it take to truly be great?
