Thomas and his sister Catherine are both receiving instruction in the powers of poetry by their tutor Dr. Wise. While Thomas is more prolific than skilled in his praise of his beloved, Sonja, Catherine is strangely mute. The problem? Catherine is secretly in love with Sonja, too, and has taken the liberty of improving her brother's verses and giving them to Sonja under an assumed name, Overripe...The characters discover that no-one is without secrets, and that poetry can unlock the door to love in unexpected ways.
