THREE STARS-When decent plots seem to have potential and they fall short. Then, trouble strikes from outside when the machinations of an unscrupulous stage mother threaten to tear Gio and Mike apart-and ruin Emma's bright future. Although Mike wonders if he can truly fit into Gio's upperclass world, their bond grows stronger. Their initial physical attraction quickly grows to something more as each hopes to fill the gap that loss and grief has left in his life. Mike’s partner was killed when Emma was a toddler, and Gio mourns the beautiful voice he will never have again, so coping with loss is something they have in common. Just as intriguing to Gio is Emma's father Mike, a blue-collar guy who runs a business renovating the kitchens and bathrooms of New York's elite to finance his daughter's dream. During auditions for his summer opera workshop, he finds his protégé in fourteen-year-old Emma McPhee. Now he teaches voice lessons at a prestigious New York City music school. Giovanni Boca was destined to go down in history as an opera legend until a vocal chord injury abruptly ended his career.
