Violinist Elise Malvern works behind the scenes at Pittsburgh’s Heinz Hall while fear prevents her from auditioning for the orchestra. An apparently worthless stage necklace draws her and country-music star Pierson Brooks into a historical mystery tied to the building’s earlier life as Loew’s Penn Theatre.
A century earlier, aspiring actress Sophie Walters returns from failure in Hollywood and accepts a minor role at the theatre. Sudden notoriety follows when she is accused of being the jewel thief known as the Mirage, forcing her to seek help from Sterling Monroe, the man she once abandoned at the altar. Both timelines turn on performance, reputation and the danger of being defined by a public mistake.
