In the film, a struggling New York City songwriter, Danny (Kent Moran) becomes enamored with a wealthy deaf girl, Ariana "Sam" (Alexia Rasmussen), from Greenwich, Connecticut, who cannot hear the music she inspires him to write. After falling in love against the wishes of her controlling mother, Sam becomes torn between hanging onto the shelter her controlling mother (Cybill Shepherd) provides and fighting for a love that, if given the chance, might just change her life.
