Stephanie wasn't paying attention to the road when she made a wrong turn, and slammed into Mike. Punching the gas, she attempts to speeds away as the homeless man struggles to get back on his feet. The next day, while heading into the office, Stephanie sees Mike strumming his guitar on the sidewalk, and stops to listen. Transfixed by the passion and sincerity of his songwriting, she reaches out to him and a remarkable friendship is born. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
A technically competent but clumsily scripted drama about a legal princess and a musical pauper that loses momentum right after the initial collision.
-
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
The story often subs ploys for sympathy in place of inspiration.
-
Chris Knight, National Post
The characters and their situations remain just complicated enough to let us believe in them.
