Gail was a has-been singer from a forgotten band, surviving by performing for small crowds in coffee houses and bars, near to giving up on everything. Evan was a venture capitalist, widowed by cancer and robbed of his only child by a car crash, who kept going on momentum alone. They were going through the motions, barely clinging to life, until one Friday evening in a central New York bar, when a faint and a spontaneous rescue brought them together. Then the music really started.
