New York, early 1960s. Amid the ferment of Greenwich Village and a cultural revolution that would change everything, an enigmatic nineteen-year-old newcomer from Minnesota bursts onto the folk scene with his guitar, his harmonica and a talent that leaves everyone who hears him disconcerted. His meteoric rise and his refusal to be pigeonholed culminate in the decision that would scandalize the purists and rewrite popular music. A musical biopic centered on Bob Dylan's formative years, with particular attention to the songs and to the tension between the artist and his audience's expectations.
