Can a man's secret yearnings be revealed in a tank full of fish?
Artie Haynes knows he's nothing special, with just-your-regular-brown hair, a solid plumber's job, not much education, and a family that can barely get off the couch. But Artie has quirks—like his love of tropical fish, a landlord who's a professor of existentialism, a passion for the amazing piano music he hears at a concert hall while he's fixing the bathrooms—and the fact that he's never come out as gay and probably never will. But when he's hired to build a guesthouse for the pianist whose music enchanted him, Artie is swept up into an unimaginable world.
François Desmarais may be famous, rich, and revered as one of the world's great classical composers and pianists, but he's soothed and challenged by the inquisitive, stalwart, protective man in his back yard. When François's terrible fear of crowds turns into a dangerous plot, Artie can stay in the closet or prove just how special he is.
