In the tranquil Ozark hills, a reclusive composer finds solace in the rustic sounds of birdsong and rushing streams. But when a young protégé seeks him out, their encounter awakens long-buried memories and a lifetime of regret. As they navigate the tangled web of the past, they must confront the price of artistic ambition and the redemptive power of connection.
