Grand Piano

Tom Selznick is a promising pianist who hasn't performed on stage in five years. His stage fright kept him away from concerts after a disastrous performance, and now he returns with a highly anticipated concert in Chicago. The theater is packed, and the audience waits in silence as he sits down at the piano. While reviewing the score, he discovers some notes and, written among them, a message warning him that he will die if he misses a single note. Tom knows he can't get up or ask for help without drawing attention, and he has to decide what to do with the open score in front of him and the audience waiting.
