Plot

Set against the vibrant, relentless pulse of 1990 New York City, tick, tick... BOOM! follows Jon (portrayed by Andrew Garfield), a youthful composer waiting tables in a city diner, while fervently penning what he believes could be the next groundbreaking American musical. As the countdown to his critical make-or-break performance dwindles, Jon is caught in a storm of pressures. His girlfriend, Susan, longs for an artistic life beyond the city's concrete walls; his friend Michael, has discarded his dreams for a more financially stable existence; all the while, their creative community is under siege by the devastating AIDS epidemic. As the city's heartbeat pounds on, mirroring the ticking of his own life's clock, Jon stands at a pivotal intersection and grapples with a universal question: What is the true purpose of our fleeting time?
