In the depths of a cold winter, a funeral sets off an uncanny chain of events. At the ceremony, a dazzling, instrument-laden gift arrives—a large Stradivarius drum that seems to resonate with something beyond the ordinary. The drummer who performs with the ensemble soon discovers that the drum is not just an object, but a vehicle for a life of its own.
