When music journalist Elena Vassos is sent to write the obituary of Luca Ferretti - once the most celebrated pianist in Europe - she can't verify a single detail of his death. Following a trail of instinct to Hydra, a small Greek island with no cars and no crowds, she finds him very much alive: older, quieter, and writing music no one has asked for in a crumbling villa above the sea.
Ferretti walked away from the concert stage six years ago - no explanation, no farewell. He has no interest in being found, interviewed, or written about. What he doesn't expect is a woman who understands exactly why he left.
