Septima Hudson is an ordinary girl from a musical family. Since childhood, her parents dreamed of performing with the Royal Orchestra, but... There is always a "but" or a "however" that makes the story darker. John and Laura Hudson weren't talented enough to get what they wanted. So they decide to achieve it through their daughter. Parents obsessed with the idea do everything to make Septima an outstanding pianist. They deprive her of friends, interests and freedom. And when the girl is on the verge of a breakdown, Jack appears in her life - a writing desk that helps her become strong to resist her parents, teachers, rivals and the entire academic community.
