Ada, her young daughter and her piano arrive to an arranged marriage in the remote bush of 19th century New Zealand. Unable to bear the certain destruction of her piano, Ada strikes a bargain with an illiterate tattooed neighbour. She may earn her piano back if she allows him to do certain things while she plays, one black key for a lesson. The arrangement draws all three deeper into a complex emotional, sexual bond remarkable for its naive passion and frightening disregard for limits.
