Tyler Joseph is a small musician, working on a new album and trying to make music into a career, since he dropped out of college. Though his band is gaining some local popularity, he's still working through the local music circuits and trying to carve out a path for him and his band.
When his friend Emerson shows up on his doorstep, injured and terrified, he does what he knows he has to do, help.
