RESYNATOR is a narrative documentary that begins when Alison Tavel rescues her father's synthesizer prototype from her grandmother’s attic. What starts off as a curious resurrection project of her dad’s "Resynator" soon launches into an insatiable, globe-trotting quest to untangle the web of myths and unlock the deep secrets surrounding his life and invention.

Aided by estranged family, lost friends, fellow inventors and celebrated musicians (Grace Potter, Peter Gabriel, Fred Armisen, Gotye, Jon Anderson and more), Alison soon comes to discover Don’s brilliance herself. But in unpacking his life, she also discovers unsettling truths about her father that don't align with her long-held perception of him, as the picture of a vulnerable man emerges to replace the superhero version she had imagined all her life.
