Charlie Clarke is a Londoner bachelor with a deep love for jazz and whose heart secretly yearns for Sakura, her neighbour, a Japanese trumpet player in the city’s orchestra. As Charlie dies in an attempt to express his love to Sakura, he finds himself reincarnated into Sakura’s precious trumpet, now navigating through her life: a storm of cultural, gender, familial, and artistic pressure. While their unique love story unfolds, Sakura pursues a chance to prove herself in the world of classical music, but Charlie complicates things by making his new life’s mission to awaken her to the freeing, wild, and empowering music of jazz, tearing apart the existence of Sakura —and what’s expected of her.
