The village priest arranges for the baby to be adopted by a couple in a nearby town where the child, a musical prodigy, grows in an opulent, but cold environment.

The father is unaware of the birth, and his whereabouts are unknown. In a twist of fate, the girl discovers her father, but untold secrets and hidden truths lead to near tragedy.
