Grounded for yet another Saturday night, Sam finds herself stuck in the basement with her precocious and anti-social sister, Emily. Faced with nothing better to do, Sam declares that it's time for a real sister-to-sister conversation -- possibly their first ever. But Emily is perfectly content to spend the evening by herself, and doubts that Sam would want to uncover the secret that keeps her alone and isolated every evening. With entertaining dialogue and strong characters, Finding a Chord takes a fresh and honest look at sexual orientation and adolescence.
