Alex Wells. The girl with an invisible orchestra. Every minute of every day Alex has melodies circling in her head. Any emotion or action results in a complicated composition. If she's feeling sad - a steady piano rings in her ears as it tinkers with melancholy notes, backed with a mourning cello. Love sounds like - a swirling tune of pianos and violins that make her feel like she could dance for ever, while a drum beats steadily with the rhythm of her heart. Alex's life is quite simple, of course how much can one do while stuck in a mental institution. Apparently conducting invisible orchestras leads people to believe your not quite stable. Her suspicions of the doctors continue to rise, odd pills, missing kids, shady conversations, never being let out into the daylight. Each day fuels her plans to escape. Out of the blue, a new boy is admitted to the juvenile ward. Alex can feel their connection all most instantly. Joining forces the two make a master plan to flee their prison. If Alex escapes, will she be able to face the music? Or be left on a broken note?
