Son to an angry, overbearing violinist father, Henry Feld wants nothing more than to erase his past failures with musical success of his own. But in a chance encounter with his album-bound sister, Henry is informed that his son, David, is leaving town unannounced and with the possibility of not returning. Conflicted, Henry is forced to make a choice between a final chance for paternal redemption, and the prospect of musical success at his latest jazz show.
