Blue Calhoun narrates the story of his adult years in Raleigh during the 1950s from the distance of old age. He begins his story in his mid-thirties, when he is working at a store that sells sheet music and instruments. One day at work, an old friend from school stops by the store with her daughter Luna, who is not much older than Blue’s daughter Madelyn. At 16, Luna is a talented young musician, and her dark hair, good looks, and confidence catch Blue’s interest. As the story unfolds, Blue has to grapple with his feelings for Luna and wanting to protect his wife and daughter. Second and third chances can’t prevent how the reverberations of how Blue’s unfaithful actions will affect his family, including his granddaughter, for whom the story is narrated.
