Synopsis:
For 12 year old, TALIESIN JONES, life on a Welsh hill farm is full of uncertainty. His Mum leaves home and Taliesin is left behind with his distracted father, his sullen brother and his own quest for answers. After seeing his elderly, piano teacher Billy Evans perform a miracle, Taliesin is inspired in his search for answers to life's biggest questions, for he needs a miracle of his own. Billy strikes a deal with Taliesin: if he continues to practice the piano, he will give him the key to miracles. Belief comes with a price and will change his life forever.
