Traditional magazine publishing is in decline. Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), now an award-winning reporter, becomes a casualty of cutbacks at her publication. At the same time, Miranda Priestley (Meryl Streep) is accidentally caught up in a sweatshop scandal through a story she commissioned for Runway, so she and her erstwhile assistant join forces to rescue the magazine’s editorial reputation.

Niki (Leo Woodall) works as a piano tuner under the mentorship of Harry (Dustin Hoffman), and the two of them bond over their work and their shared love of music. Niki has hyperacusis, an allergy to loud noises, and when Harry falls ill, Niki, desperate to help pay the hospital bills, gets tangled up in crime, discovering that his condition qualifies him as an exceptional safe-cracker.
