In a moving and sociopolitical love story, an interracial couple in contemporary Chicago finds their new relationship buffeted not only by resistance amongst select family and friends, but the pervasive harassment of a notoriously biased police force. When a violent arrest turns their world upside down, they're driven to question what they really know of each other and just whom to trust. The Alchemy of Noise is a provocative drama that asks if love can bridge the distance between two Americas.
