SAMIR'S BEEN UNEMPLOYED for years, his job automated away along with the entire music industry. Now he's single, too-his partner of ten years fed up with his freeloading.
Sam's only friend offers him a sofa and a job at his club, Maelzel's Exhibition, the only nightclub left in San Francisco still hosting real artists. Broke and alone, he longs for his old boss: music legend GEMMA THOMSON, the woman who made his life exciting and his relationship complicated.
A world away in the English Midlands, Gemma is on the run from the British authorities. She dreams of recording songs again, and of Sam, with whom she formed an unusual bond.
Trapped in their respective lives, Gemma and Sam desperately seek a way across the ocean to find each other-each without the other knowing.
