This intense family drama follows Birdy Warlo, a
middle-aged African-American piano teacher, and
her student James Morris, a white tatted
formerly convicted gang member. Diametrically
different physical differences aside, it is
evident that Birdy and James have an endearing
love and joviality throughout their heated piano
lesson. However, when a woman from Birdy’s past
appears unannounced, her relationship with James
grows stronger as they both teach each other
life lessons.
