Set in New York during the Civil War, Melissa, a beautiful young woman born blind to an aristocratic family, has spent her life sheltered by her overprotective parents. Their love for her threatens to suffocate her, paying no attention to her ambitions and desires. Despite her passion for music and dreams of joining The New York Philharmonic Society, her parents plan for her to marry Patrick, a promiscuous and tyrannical Union Army soldier, also from an aristocratic family. They arrange the marriage without her consent, treating her as a mere prize for Patrick. As Melissa resigns herself to this fate, she meets Timothy, a skilled African American musician who understands her ambition, and shares her goal of being a recognized voice in music. They decide to join forces to achieve their musical goals by helping Melissa develop her musical talents. What starts as a journey to perfection soon spirals into a swirling romance provoking outrage from her family, her fiancé, and society. Unable to understand the source of the social taboo surrounding her romantic choices, due in no small part to her disability, she embarks on an exploration of life such as she had never before imagined, as she and her Music Teacher challenge the status quo.
