The Symphony of the All set the stage for the universal Om to be heard around the world each new day at sunrise, for 33.33 seconds.
Chaz finds himself as a charter sailboat captain, contracted to take group of friends for a summer cruise around the Caribbean hitting all of the West Indies where they enjoy their first Om sunrise at Grand Cayman. The groups first stop is Devils Grotto, where Chaz finds a safe deposit box key, and one of the friends, Marcus, finds Orpheus' ring. One of the friends, a local named Nikki recognized the key as one from her own bank, Cayman National, so they crew decide to make one last trip to the island before setting off for the next destination.
During their visit, Chelsea picks up an old ukulele, Kyle hits the cigar store, 'Raleigh's' for some fine Cuban cigars, and Chaz finds the key fits a box at Cayman National. The contents of the box; a leatherbound book filled with empty pages.
After returning to the boat, the Sea Gypsy II, the team discuss the reasons of why there was an empty book. In the following morning at sunrise they again flip through the pages of the empty book and notice the Om has illuminated the writing on pages, revealing coordinates and musical notes. They figure out that the next coordinates take them to their next destination, Turks & Caicos, where they learn the next note in the series. The destinations begin to deviate away from their planned route, and they don't know if the order of the notes is important but decide to follow the book.
As each progressive note is discovered they play the notes in sequence on the old ukulele, forming a song, a song they do not recognize, and that does not appear to be of any consequence.
Their final destination is in the Bermuda Triangle, completely off course from their travel plans and they decide to take the risk, and discover nothing there, just empty ocean. But below the water, there is a sea mound, where they dive and discover an even more ancient lyre in the sirens' lair. The lyre is bound by two seahorses on each side.
Marcus recovers the instrument, and plays it once back on board, and the song is complete, a song from Orpheus himself, the Song of Sorrows. Once he plays the song, he is compelled to discover new coordinates and notes and new songs around the world.
The adventure is full of mystical signs and creatures, including the elusive seahorse, the dragon of the sea.
Behind the scenes, it is the Winder who is orchestrating the discovery of the lost lyre, and the book. The songs vibrational frequency resonation is enough to counter and offset the Om, and once again the balance between the duality of polarity between the Song of Sorrows and the Universal Om threatens to fray the Symphony of the All.
