After learning a shocking secret about his origins Niels Larsen, a young musician, abandons his studies, soul-mate, and family to embark on a solitary journey of reflection and healing. His journey takes him to Spain where he discovers flamenco and sets off on a new musical path. As he reconciles himself to his past, Niels learns about love, loss, and the true meaning of family, and discovers that sometimes life does give you a second chance.

She had returned home to Vancouver from Dubai, where she now lived, to spend the holidays with her parents, and I had come to their New Year’s Eve party to meet her.

Mom was just so glad to think Brad left something behind that she took Leah at her word. I would have made you do the test.”
