This is a story of innocent love and desire between three people. Lexus, a young African-American pianist, who goes to Paris seeking fame and whose life takes an unexpected turn through his involvement with a young French female artist, Anne Claire, and a young African-American female jazz singer, Kasera.

The first act begins with Lexus as a child at the piano with his mother, who is giving him a piano lesson. She dies of a brain tumor when he is fourteen. He is then raised by Dr. Phillipe, a piano professor who helps him to fulfill his dream of being a concert pianist; which leads him to studying piano at the Paris Conservatory. Next, it takes us through Lexus and Anne Claire’s first experience of falling in love. It introduces Kasera, the young African-American jazz singer whom Lexus becomes fascinated by. It also takes us through Lexus’s friendship with Olivier, a student at the Conservatory who leads him to experiment with drugs, which eventually leads Lexus to addiction.

The second act speaks of Lexus’s growing drug addiction and the break-up between Anne Claire and Lexus, even though she has become pregnant with Lexus’s child. It also tells of the affair between him and Kasera, their collaboration as a duo, pianist and vocalist, and their rise to the top of European musical acts. They break up professionally and romantically after Lexus’s friend Olivier dies and he realizes his addiction to drugs and the mistake he made in leaving his first loves of classical piano and Anne Claire. He finally gets his life together and goes back to the Conservatory and finishes his studies there and becomes a classical concert pianist, as well as a teacher at the Conservatory. He meets Scarlett, an American journalist who interviews him for a story and eventually becomes his wife. He runs into Anne Claire again and finds out she has a son and he is the father. He also finds out she has only months to live and wants him to take their son and be his guardian. It ends with the cycle being complete—Lexus giving his son a piano lesson. This is all done through the weaving of very diverse music, including classical, jazz, popular, and even reggae.
