Story: | 
Gretta (Keira Knightley) and her long-time boyfriend Dave (Adam Levine) are 
college sweethearts and songwriting partners who decamp for New York when he 
lands a deal with a major label. But the trappings of his new-found fame soon 
tempt Dave to stray, and a reeling, lovelorn Gretta is left on her own. Her 
world takes a turn for the better when Dan (Mark Ruffalo), a disgraced 
record-label exec, stumbles upon her performing on an East Village stage and 
is immediately captivated by her raw talent. From this chance encounter emerges 
an enchanting portrait of a mutually transformative collaboration, set to the 
soundtrack of a summer in New York City.
