When pianist, Elizabeth receives a postcard from Nico fifteen-years after they said good-bye, she squirrels it away from her husband’s curious eyes. Nico, the handsome Maltese musician she met in her 20s studying classical music in Austria was perfection in her eyes. He was handsome, funny, a brilliant pianist, disgustingly well-read, and hypnotizes her with his sexy accent. 

With her rekindled interest in Nico, all Elizabeth wants is to forget about all those years she wasted in Michigan, married to Russ and teaching disinterested piano students. To return to Salzburg where it all started, spend her days hiking in the Alps, playing the piano, and finally have Nico love her fully and completely--this is the only prescription to treat the boredom of Elizabeth’s life.

When she secretly flies off to visit Nico without telling her husband, she places her marriage, career, and mental stability in grave jeopardy.
