Olympic fever runs high in the Australian summer of 1999 and 17-year-old Sydney has caught it. Little does she know taking a holiday job in the beehive that is the Olympics' public-transport call centre will be life altering. She is trying to negotiate her parents’ divorce, abusive callers, obnoxious government agencies, constrictive office rules, and liberated friends as her own personal Olympics when Pete sees through her tough outer shell. This former child prodigy from Boston knows what it takes to present a dignified front when all you want to do is howl at the moon. Treating their friendship like an art, Pete invests time and creative effort to help Sydney faces her challenges.
Tragedy strikes when an accident leaves Pete with a major brain injury in a Boston hospital. When the going gets very, very tough, will you abandon the one who has promised to love you until he dies?
Sydney's Song is an undefeatable girl's courageous journey and a love story. Set in Sydney and Boston where heartbreaks are juxtaposed humour, it shows the world that living with disabilities does not prevent a person from attaining happiness.
