Plot
Surrounded by wealth and living with abundant resources in Manhattan, 12-year-old cello prodigy and all-around genius Reggie lives a solitary, bookish life lacking only his frequently absent parents and friends his own age. Estranged from family, having slacker boyfriend troubles and fired from her waitressing job, sometime musician 23-year-old Eleanor needs a new place to live and a new job.
Fate winds her lovely fingers around these two lives to unexpectedly place the inexperienced Eleanor as the new au pair for a skeptical Reggie, and the music in their hearts and souls intertwines to create this beautiful story about discovery and acceptance.
