Spoilers ahead

Emily, Evan Rachel Wood, is a 14-year-old aspiring concert violinist in Salt Lake City. Her summer revolves around rigorous practice for a crucial audition that could secure her a spot in the local youth symphony orchestra. Beyond the strings, she runs a small, neighborhood “secret-keeping booth,” where she charges fifty cents for advice as kids lay bare their personal secrets. Yet Emily herself guards a secret of her own: she is adopted. At home, her parents are buzzing with news of a new baby on the way, a milestone that fills the house with excitement and, in Emily’s eyes, a twinge of jealousy.
