Isabella Cunningham awakens to find herself being cared for by unfamiliar people, in an unfamiliar setting, and with little knowledge of how this has come to be. She can no longer talk or move, and to her further dismay is confined within a nursing bed. Unable to fully express herself, Isabella's only means of solace lie in her love for classical music, her enduring sense of humour, a passionate determination to be reunited with her loved ones - particularly her husband - and to discover what ailments now forge their cruel hold.Through a series of peculiar events and moving flashbacks, Isabella gradually learns of what is inflicting her body and mind, her true age, and why her family appear to be so distant at times - all during this one day of lucidity.
