In the songwriting rooms of New York’s Brill Building, Mara, a session player, and Charlie, a young writer, find each other through the songs they create together.
Take 51 follows what happens when one of those songs begins to move through producers, performers, and the system around them, and the question of who owns it becomes impossible to ignore. As Charlie is pulled forward, Mara finds her voice carried everywhere but credited nowhere, and what began as a shared act of creation becomes a fight to be heard.
