Music Box

A DIY Family Story When bullies chase Jonah Winfield to the front step of Avakian Music, owner Davoud Avakian intervenes and offers Jonah sanctuary among the lush chords of the Music Box's Steinway Grand. Jonah's sexuality isn't a problem for Avakian, but it's an issue the kids at school won't allow Jonah to forget—whether he's ready to deal with it or not. When the bullying escalates to violence, Jonah's favorite music teacher, Mr. Gaston, wants to take the bullies to the principal. Speaking up for his favorite student may bring Paul Gaston's own sexuality up for debate, and with budget cuts looming, he's already on shaky ground. Forcing Jonah to do anything will only make matters worse. Getting Jonah's cooperation requires earning his trust and helping to preserve the sanctuary of the Music Box. But the generations old music store handed down to Davoud is on the verge of bankruptcy. If Paul and Davoud can't figure out how to turn the business around, everyone will feel the loss.
