Melodee: A Song For Nora
Melodee King loved few people. One left her when she was a child, one died, and the other she left in Memphis. Her plan was simple, put Memphis in her rearview mirror and only stop through for an occasional plate of Memphis BBQ. Riley Walker loved one woman and one woman only. When she left he went after her. Six months, he waited. She never spent enough days in the city or with him to give him a chance. That's all he needed. All he wanted was one moment to love her again. With a river of pain and tears between them, will Melodee and Riley ever be able to find the harmony between lyrics and music again?
