Then one day, when walking through LA's Skid Row, he sees a bedraggled homeless man playing beautiful music on a two-stringed violin. The man is Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx), a former child prodigy turned street musicianwho could have played packed concert halls the world over but wound up living rough in the tunnels and doorways of Los Angeles.
