Synopsis: It happens without warning: At a folk-rock show at her son&’s college, Lily becomes transfixed by the guitarist&’s unassuming onstage presence and beautiful playing—and with his final note, something within her breaks loose. After the concert, Lily returns to her comfortable life—an Upper West Side apartment, a job as a videographer, and a kind if distracted husband—but she can&’t stop thinking about the music, or about the duo&’s guitarist, JJ. Unable to resist the pull of either one, she rashly offers to make a film about the band in order to gain a place with them on tour. But when Lily dares to step out from behind her camera, she falls deep into JJ&’s world—upsetting the tenuous balance between him and his bandmate, and filling a chasm of need she didn&’t know she had. Captivating and provocative, Play for Me captures the thrill and heartbreak of deciding to leave behind what you love to follow what you desire.
