Seventy-year old avant-garde composer Peter Els opens the door one
evening to find the police outside. His DIY microbiology lab - the
latest experiment in his lifelong attempt to extract music from
rich patterns beyond the ear's ability to hear - has come to the
attention of Homeland Security. Panicked by the raid on his house,
Els flees and turns fugitive, waiting for the evidence to clear him
and for the alarm surrounding his activities to blow over. But
alarm turns to national hysteria, as the government promises a
panicked nation that the 'Bioterrorist Bach' will be found and
brought to trial. As Els feels the noose around him tighten, he
embarks on a cross-country trip to visit, one last time, the people
in his past who have most shaped his failed musical journey. And
through the help of these people - his ex-wife, his daughter, and
his longtime artistic collaborator - Els comes up with a plan to
turn this disastrous collision with national security into one
last, resonant, calamitous artwork that might reach an audience
beyond his wildest dreams.
