No longer willing to live without answers, he turns to his daughter-in-law, Justine, another Peck family eccentric. A studied tarot card reader, Justine comes across one message over and over in the cards: change is coming. With Daniels help, shes hoping to find the courage to embrace whatever happens next.An unlikely pair struggling against a stifling family, Daniel and Justine believe theyll find freedom in just the right mix of magic, music, and mystery.
