The film gets off to a dramatic start with the story of a vivacious lady whose rare talent for singing is abruptly taken away by a tragic accident. Thus begins a cycle of love and pain that will affect more than just the immediate family. Her husband remains so haunted by this tragedy that it becomes impossible for him to accept a second chance at happiness when it is offered. Her son finds solace with society's misfits, even spending some time in a mental institution, before he sets off on a journey halfway around the world in an attempt to right a great wrong his father has done and put the pieces of his own life back together. It remains to a grandson, many years later, to fulfill an old dream of a locally performed Christmas oratorio.
