Sunny Bridges left his hometown of Atlanta to pursue a career in music 10 years ago. Since then, he has won a total of 27 Grammy Awards and a Nobel Peace Prize and has sold out concerts all over the world. But despite the fame, Sunny is left feeling like something is missing. Eventually, it just becomes too much for Sunny, and he unexpectedly steps out of the spotlight, literally, and returns to his hometown for some quiet reflection. There, he steps into the lives of a diverse group of kids as their music teacher in an attempt to get back to his roots and reconnect with what he loves most about music. Naturally, Sunny is reluctant about being a music teacher at his alma mater until he sees the kids’ passion for music, something he used to see in himself.
