The Music Box deals with two social issues, one relatable and universal, the other shocking and unthinkable: fatherhood and organ trafficking. After a man’s daughter disappears, he tries desperately to find out what happened to her. In a panicked state of loss and grief, he jogs the same circuit every day, past the scene of her disappearance, past the scene where her remains were found. Ultimately, a music box will hold the key to discovering the tragic disappearance of his daughter and finding his own peace through justice.
