Overview

"Amy, once a musical prodigy but now a graduate student in French, is reliving past trauma with the recent arrest of the man she once thought of as her boyfriend. The man, forty-five-year old Gregory Mercer, who took sexual advantage of her ten years ago, when she was fourteen, has just been arrested for similar crimes. Amy has never told a soul about this affair, and she contemplates if she ever will. Gradually, her secrets begin to weigh on her and distract her from the many facets of her life: her boyfriend Caleb, her graduate program, her father's cancer recurrence, and her family relationships. Amy is paralyzed by what happened between her and her teacher, haunted by the music that she no longer listens to, and the violin, hidden away in her childhood closet, that she no longer plays." --Abstract.
