01 / THE STORY
Share the music with someone you love.
Former music superstar Alex Fletcher used to pack them in back in the 1980s, but now he is reduced to playing nostalgia tours and county fairs. He scores a chance at a major comeback when reigning pop diva Cora Corman asks him to write a song for her, but he hasn't written anything in years and cannot compose lyrics anyway. Noticing that Sophie, the plant lady, has a way with words, Alex proposes that he and Sophie make beautiful music together.
