Suffocated by his bland small-town-life, Edward finds a kindred spirit in the elderly owner of the local Mexican restaurant, who becomes his musical mentor.  After his mentor suffers a debilitating stroke, Edward is inspired to follow his dream.  He sets off on a journey crossing cultural and geographical borders, where he soon discovers the richness and color of Mariachi music in Mexico.
