Elliot Reeves has spent the past ten years running from his past. Once a rising pianist with a scholarship to Juilliard, a single tragic night shattered his dreams and sent him spiraling into a life of regret. Now, at thirty-two, he's a night-shift janitor in a quiet coastal town, spending his days avoiding people and his nights drowning in memories.
When a troubled teenage girl named Iris sneaks into the town's abandoned music hall, Elliot finds himself reluctantly drawn into her world. Iris, battling her own demons, sees in Elliot a mentor he refuses to be. As their unlikely friendship grows, old wounds resurface, forcing Elliot to confront the past he has spent a decade burying.
But the past doesn't let go so easily. A letter from his estranged mother. A chance encounter with the woman he once loved. A long-forgotten song that refuses to leave his mind. As Elliot's carefully constructed walls begin to crack, he must decide—will he finally face the music, or will he let his silence consume him forever?
