Andrew studia batteria jazz nella più prestigiosa ed importante scuola di musica di New York, è al suo primo anno e già viene notato da Terence Fletcher, temutissimo e inflessibile insegnante che a sorpresa lo vuole nella propria band. Il ragazzo è eccitato dalla possibilità ma non sa che in realtà sarà un inferno di prove, esercizi e umiliazioni come non pensava fosse possibile. Gli standard richiesti da Fletcher sono mostruosi e progressivamente alienano sempre di più Andrew dalle altre parti della sua vita.
