On a moonlit rooftop above New York City, Lyla Novacek (Keri Russell), a sheltered young cello player, and Louis Connelly (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), a charismatic Irish singer-songwriter, are drawn together through a love of music, and instantly fall in love. Their connection is real and undeniable - but short-lived. Torn apart by Lyla’s overbearing father, the young lovers leave in their wake a newborn child, orphaned by circumstance, and unknown to his parents.

Drawn to New York twelve years later in search of his parents, August Rush (Freddie Highmore), a young orphan and musical prodigy, is taken under the wing of an eccentric street musician known only as the Wizard (Robin Williams), who nurtures his musical gift. Steadfast in the belief that his mother and father are alive, August embraces his incredible talent, calling out to his parents through every note he plays. Separated by fate but bonded together by love and music, Lyla, Louis and August each search for what they have lost, and that which will make their lives complete again – each other.
