Description
When Sam Abrams first fell in love with Rose he wrote her a song which has been covered by every recording artist and translated to every language. And for twenty-five years, Sam has been looking for the creative spark that this first flush of love had inspired in him -- to no avail. While on a twenty-fifth anniversary cruise with his wife, Sam hears beautiful music and jumps overboard to wind up with a Siren on her island. There he struggles with the pain of middle age, the torture of creative failure and the desire to live in the past rather than face an uncertain future ... and he must find a way to get back home and win his wife back.
