Episode 1 of 6

Duration: 1 hour

Local choirmaster Michael is perfectly content leading his ramshackle, enthusiastic chorus, with wife Esther singing lead soprano. The arrival of the beautiful and talented Layla throws all into disarray, but when Esther unexpectedly takes up the baton all kinds of little miracles start happening.

The arrival of glamorous and mysterious soprano Layla turns local choirmaster Michael and his wife Esther's lives upside down. Ousted from her marriage and her choir, the last thing self-effacing Esther expects is to find herself leading the charge with a rival offering in the local music festival. But the needs of her troubled but gifted son give her a courage and a determination she didn't know she had.
