You've heard of 'girl meets boy'? This isn't that. It's 'girl meets horn'.
Cate was a top musician in a leading orchestra-until a disastrous solo humiliated her on the world stage. Traumatised, she abandons her instrument, retrains as a language teacher, reinvents herself online, and travels the world.
Ten years later, after her mother's death, Cate returns to her bleak Midlands hometown, where she's drawn into mentoring Sarah, a talented teenage horn player with no professional training. Sarah dreams of making music her career, but her family can't afford a decent instrument or lessons. She learns by ear, her talent undeniable but her future uncertain.
Cate is the only one who can help.
When a local amateur orchestra announces a concert featuring the piece that once destroyed Cate's career, Sarah's big break is at stake. For Cate, helping her succeed could mean redemption-if she can finally face her own past.
