Demolition (2016) Soundtrack: Every Song & When It Plays in the movie
Following the tragic death of his wife in a sudden car crash, successful investment banker Davis Mitchell struggles to feel any grief or emotion. As his life begins to unravel, an unhinged letter of complaint he sends to a vending machine company sparks an unexpected connection with a customer service representative, Karen, and her troubled teenage son. Guided by their growing friendship, Davis embarks on a disruptive journey of self-discovery, literally and figuratively dismantling his seemingly perfect life and home in order to rebuild himself from the ground up.
