About The Savant:
Sixteen-year-old Peter Shaw is a savant, a brilliant musician, and wants to be like every other kid his age. Instead, fitting in is a constant struggle. Social interaction fuels anxiety, which makes him feel awkward and unable to relax. He finds solace in two things—music and his love for Amy Stevens. The only time he feels comfortable is with her. Knowing Peter could be huge in the music industry, Amy challenges him to pursue his musical talent and takes him to a recording studio in Chicago.
Amy’s mother, a powerful defense attorney, is fuming when the teenagers return from their unauthorized trip, and forbids Amy from seeing Peter again. For fifteen months, the manipulative parenting continues to worsen, but Amy and her little sister develop an exit strategy to reunite Amy and Peter on her eighteenth birthday.
Peter’s first album is a huge success; however, unable to share it with Amy, he is forced to cope with the world alone. Being rich and becoming a global icon means nothing to Peter, if it’s without Amy. Peter is uncertain whether Amy can live with the demands of his newfound career, but unknown to him, she is pregnant and taking desperate measures to be with him. A short time after being reunited, their love is put to an unspeakable test, when Amy’s mother proves she will do anything to keep them apart.
