| Description: |
Jess's dream to be a violinist dies when she fails an audition for music school - until her estranged grandmother shows up promising six months of tuition in exchange for Jess living with her in London and following her rules. There, Jess will uncover a devastating secret which tore her family apart and links directly to Jess's own musical dream. |
| Synopsis: |
It is the story of a brilliant young violinist, her determination and struggle to achieve her dreams and the discovery that she is at the centre of an extraordinary secret that has pulled apart her family for two generations. Jess, a talented 17-year-old violinist, suffers from stage-fright as she auditions for a place at a prestigious music school. Her family do not have enough money for her to continue to study so when she fails, she vows not to play again. Until her wealthy grandmother - estranged from her family since Jess's mother fell pregnant - shows up at their doorstep and promises six months of tuition in exchange for Jess moving to live with her. Once ensconced in her grandmother's rich, but empty, life she starts to uncover the mystery of why her grandmother never spoke to her mother again, and the secret which tore her family apart. |
