At the start of the story, we meet Will Halliday, a young man confined to the King's Bench Prison for debt, who finds solace in playing the violin and composing music.

He longs for freedom and a different life, which leads to significant encounters, including his first sight of the beautiful Jenny, who captivates him and stirs emotions he thought he had lost.
