Fifty-two-year-old Maurice "Teardrop" Williams is a world famous
blues man-singer, guitarist, and songwriter. But since Maureen, his
wife of thirty years, died seven months ago, Teardrop has lost the
joy he once found in performing music on the road with his band,
the Tearmakers. With his light-blue guitar called Lillian, he
returns home to Walker City, Iowa.
Finding it difficult and lonely to stay in the home he once
shared with Maureen, he moves in with his daughter, Arlene, and his
seven-year-old grandson, Jamal. Teardrop is devoted to Maureen's
memory and counts on Arlene's and Jamal's companionship and
support. It isn't until three years later, when
twenty-five-year-old freelance journalist Ursula Jenkins arrives
from New York City to interview Teardrop for an assignment, that
his world begins to change.
Ursula comes away from the interview discovering things about
herself she had not bargained for, including an attraction to this
once-famous musician. As the relationship deepens, Arlene feels she
must continue to protect her mother's place in her father's heart
and tries to do what she can to put an end to Teardrop's and
Ursula's partnership. The couple faces issues of age, family and
loss, and only time will tell whether love really can conquer all
things.
