Cornelia, a shy, eccentric country girl in rural 1950s Virginia, is an unlikely operatic prodigy who shares a passion for music and much more with Jay, a struggling, young composer, anxious to escape his aristocratic background and the demands of his overbearing father.

Can their love for one another survive the efforts of their very different families—including threats and bribery—to keep them apart?
