The biopic, which is available to circulate on Disney Plus, is set in 2012 and focuses on high schooler Zach Sobiech, a teenager who rises to viral popularity along with his music and (it isn't in reality a spoiler, since it is based on a real story) dies shortly after, due to his cancer diagnosis, in 2013.
