Sylvie Townsend yearns for what she thought was an impossible dream: a family of her own. However, her fears are put to rest when she takes in Polish immigrant Rose Dabrowski, whom she loves and raises as her own. But their happiness is short-lived when Rose, at the age of seventeen, disappears at the World's Fair.

Sylvie's world falls apart as the authorities dismiss her concerns. Determined to find her missing daughter, she turns to her boarder, Kristof Bartok. Kristof is not only Rose's violin instructor but also the concertmaster for the Columbian Exposition Orchestra. His language skills are crucial in navigating the immigrant communities where their search leads.

The pair embarks on a journey that takes them from the glittering architecture of the fair to the dark houses of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods. Their search uncovers clues that point to Rose's long-lost family. As they grow closer, Sylvie questions whether she is willing to let her daughter go and confronts her own desires for control and belonging.

Through their journey, Sylvie and Kristof learn about the complexities of love, sacrifice, and the power of forgiveness. They discover that sometimes the things we desire the most can lead us to unexpected places and that true happiness comes from embracing the unexpected.
