Haunted by an Acid Attack, a stunning and gifted singer Shahrzad flees Iran and winds up in a semi-arranged marriage in Los Angeles. She befriends her piano teacher Elana, a growing friendship nourished by their common taste for Tchaikovsky's music. But that's not the only thing they share in common. Shahrzad falls for the gardener Sebastian, Elana's lover. Inflamed by the poems of Rumi and Lorca, their secret romance threatens to destroy all.
