Tom is an aspiring musician who plays seedy bars in the backstreets of Paris. The one thing tearing him away from his music is the example set by his father – a sleazy life of crime which Tom seems set to follow. But when, by chance, he meets a friend of his concert pianist mother’s, his musical ambitions are rekindled and he strives to make a better life for himself.
