Characters

Hoping to gain fame and fortune, small-town musician Maxwell Stoddard chucks his cozy life away and flies off to London. His ambitions quickly fade when the record producers and promoters ignore his attempts to get noticed. Down and out, he plays on street corners and in Hyde Park hoping for handouts. Deeply depressed, he trudges the streets by day and sleeps amongst the homeless in the subway. Until one day, by chance, he encounters Claire Ogilvie--the niece of a major record company owner.
