Jack Malik has wanted to be a musician his entire life, driven by his idolization of Music/TheBeatles, to the point that he knows all their songs by heart. But after years of never getting anywhere, he finally gives up, only to be hit by a car during a mysterious worldwide power failure. Upon waking up, everything seems the same, but then he plays "Yesterday" for his friends and family...and they all assume he wrote it! Somehow, Jack has landed in a world where the Beatles never existed, enabling him to truly make a name for himself as he passes off one of the greatest music catalogs of all time as his own one by one.
