Notes in Time

A teenage boy, grieving for the recent loss of his mother, comes into possession of a mysterious piano with an unusual book of sheet music hidden inside. Whilst learning to play, he unwittingly unlocks the piano’s secret, that each piece of music leads to an important moment in history.

Conflict with his father leads him to keep his discovery secret, only confiding in his best friend. The two friends then embark on increasingly dangerous trips back in time to important historical events, including ancient civilisations in Egypt, Rome and Mexico in a desperate search for the pianos true potential, whilst juggling everyday problems at school as lessons in history, music and science take on increasing significance, and at home as father and son struggle to relate as they readjust to life after their recent loss.
