The story revolves around a teenager from an Asian family named Javed, who discovers solace and inspiration in the music of American rockstar Bruce Springsteen. Javed's journey begins as he struggles to find his voice in a rigidly traditional household, where his dreams of becoming a writer are disregarded. However, everything changes when his friend Roops introduces him to the music of Bruce Springsteen, which completely reshapes Javed's perspective on life. With the lyrics of Springsteen as his guide, Javed starts to explore his own identity and aspirations, realizing that he can transcend cultural barriers to pursue his dreams.

As Javed embraces Springsteen's songs, they become the soundtrack to his life, providing him with the motivation and courage to challenge societal norms and confront prejudice.
