While the celebrated opera singer Terri Ivory is in hospital, facing what could be the end of her career, her daughter Julie discovers a long-buried secret. This forces her to question her past and her place in her mother's affection. Their empty house no longer seems a home. Mother and daughter try to keep their closeness to each other and to the men they love: damaged Teo, whose passion for Terri borders on the self-destructive, and Julie's first love, Alistair, who fails to predict the consequences of his decision to join the army. When calamity strikes, all four must make vital choices to find their way forward. Can love and music heal when medicine cannot? And are there some secrets that should never be shared?
