A tender, bittersweet story about the power of music and friendship, with a writing style that touches every human soul, regardless of gender and age, deeply moving.
Dina has lived her entire life in Scarborough. Trapped next to an irresponsible husband and a lazy son, her only escape is the northern soul nights of her town, where she dresses up and loses herself in her favorite tracks.
Dina has an idol: Bucky Bronco, who recorded a series of soul gems in the late ’60s and then disappeared without a trace. When she manages to get in touch with him, she can’t believe her luck.
In Chicago, Bucky Bronco has not been going through the best period of his life for years – ever since he lost his beloved wife. All he wants is to get by and keep himself together. Until he receives an unexpected invitation from a woman he doesn’t know, to travel to a place he has never even heard of. Having nothing to lose, he boards the plane and arrives in rainy Scarborough, where everyone seems to know who he is – to perform in front of an audience for the first time in almost half a century.
During the week, he forms new and unexpected friendships; and for the first time, he confronts his past and the losses he has endured.
A warm, tender, and funny story about unexpected friendships, second chances, and the magic of music.
