James is a talented musician and eventually he becomes a music teacher and he befriends the heir to the throne, who would become George 3rd.
However, he soon finds that the established court is hostile toward him and bears him animosity.
His personal life is fraught with problems and his attempts to seek personal fulfilment and to find love in his life are blighted by tragedy.
