Mark Deveraux [Randy Quaid] spent years chasing a true jazz breakthrough, drifting between gigs writing TV show themes and jingles to pay the bills. He’s technically successful—busy and steady—but the work doesn’t satisfy his creative itch. When a shot at scoring a sci‑fi film comes through, he packs up for a weekend in a cabin with one goal: to composer a piece that could serve as a universal greeting, something that would speak to everyone, everywhere. The process is painstaking but intimate, turning a personal longing into a measured, expressive experiment.
