A slave born blind, feeble, and left to die in a sweltering smokehouse begins playing Mozart at the age of three. The remarkable true tale of the amazing slave, Thomas Bethune, known throughout the world as Blind Tom. This 19th century epic of imagination and edge-of-your seat suspense is told through the eyes of the aristocratic master who saved the odd, dying, slave boy and went on to rebuild his fortune.
