Ray McMillian loves playing the violin more than anything, and nothing will stop him from pursuing his dream of becoming a professional musician. And when he makes the startling discovery that his great-grandfather's fiddle is actually a Stradivarius, his star begins to rise. Then with the international Tchaikovsky Competition -- the Olympics of classical music -- fast approaching, his prized family heirloom is stolen. Ray is determined to get it back. But now his family and the descendants of the man who once enslaved Ray's great-grandfather are each claiming that the violin belongs to them. With the odds stacked against him and the pressure mounting, will Ray every see his beloved violin again?
