Niki White hears what other people miss. A hearing condition sharpens every click and vibration, which makes him a gifted piano tuner and, it turns out, an even better safecracker.

A few thoughts on Tuner
The safecracking hook pairs well with Thief, the stealth game built entirely around listening, lockpicking, and slipping through rooms you were never meant to enter. On television, Sneaky Pete runs a similar current of talent bent toward crime, following a con man whose gift for reading people keeps dragging him deeper than he planned.
Crews and lone thieves pulling off the impossible job
Niki White's ear turns him from a piano tuner into a safecracker, one tumbler at a time, and Tuner plays that transformation as a heist story hiding inside a character study. These films and one classic stealth game share that same nerve, a crew or a lone thief pulling off a job where one wrong sound ends everything.
A sharpened sense that becomes the whole story
Tuner hinges on a hearing condition that turns Niki White into someone who notices what nobody else can, clicks and vibrations other people never register. These films and a comic build their whole story around a character whose sharpened sense, sound or sight, becomes both a gift and the thing that gets them into trouble.
Desperate money problems that pull good people into crime
Niki only starts cracking safes because his mentor Harry falls into medical debt he cannot pay, an ordinary financial trap that pushes an honest craftsman toward crime. These films and a novel follow other people pulled into schemes and underworlds by money problems rather than by any taste for danger.
A sharp, watchful mind worth more than any weapon
Tuner is a quiet character study wearing a heist thriller's clothes, built around a protagonist who reads a room, and a safe, better than anyone else in it. These games and a comic share that same watchful, unhurried tension, stories where the sharpest mind in the scene is worth more than any weapon.
