It has been 20 years since Remy, an ambitious conservatory student; Nicholas, a wunderkind on the cusp of success and its challenges; and the beautiful and fragile Hazel, first came together, tipping their collective world on its axis. From Europe to America, from conservatory life to the Boston Symphony Orchestra, their lives have crisscrossed, diverged and interlaced, each discovering how the quest to create something real and true can lead to profound personal revelations --- and the unearthing of long-held secrets.
