Synopsis

Spoiler shield

When doctors diagnosed 19-year-old rock star Jason Becker with Lou Gehrig's Disease, they said he would never make music again and that he wouldn’t live to see his 25th birthday. 22 years later, without the ability to move or to speak, Jason is alive and making music with his eyes.

“It's a much bigger reason than anybody out there knows why he's still here. But he's still here.”
