After his escape from Hungary during the Revolt, Verga Caszar seeks to find freedom as a nomad, eventually wandering through the halls of the Akademischer Musikverein, a music school in Graz. His musical talent sends him to Vienna to compete in the Young Pianist International Talent Competition, where he experiences his first taste of true love and true vengeance. Verga must decide what he wants more: his dream of becoming a famous pianist or the well-being of his lover; but what happens when he isnt given the opportunity to choose? Verga finds himself in another desperate escape plan reminiscent of his fleeing from his home country, this time to America, the melting pot of freedom and democracy. In a nation founded on choices, Verga will have to comply, discovering a world and a direction he has never expected, a reevaluation of prior passions and affections.
