A hysterical woman explodes onto the stage at the end of a performance of a famous composer's opera in the belief that she is his wife. This story tracks her progression from stalker to full-blown delusion, and her journey into madness. Trapped in the drama is a 12-year-old girl, the woman's piano student, who as an adult tries to solve the mystery of what became of her. Who was this mystery woman, why did she seemingly disappear without trace, and why the wall of silence? Fact and fiction are skillfully blended in a gripping account of obsession and unrequited love, and one woman's pathway to redemption.
