About the song

Struggling with his desire to inappropriately chat with a minor online, TANNER, a cyber-crime police detective, goes to see BOB, an internet predator whom he put behind bars. Seeing that TANNER is headed towards self-destruction, BOB uses his dog, KIPSIE as an example of a healthy relationship. Meanwhile, JANICE, a psychologist is meeting with her abused, 13-year old client NOVEMBER, who reminisces about happy memories with her dog. All four characters, however, are suffering internally from their extreme loneliness.

ABOUT CLOAKED:
Cloaked is a psychological thriller in which people who are yearning for human connection turn to the internet in search of fulfillment. The show follows the lives of Tanner, a cop specializing in internet crimes against children; November, a too-smart-for-her-own-good 14 year-old girl who was abused by her parents and now lives in a foster home; and Janice, a psychotherapist who has neglected her own needs, on their quest to find something – anything – to fill the canyon of emptiness inside themselves. As their online worlds collide with reality, identities blur, hidden desires are revealed and the darkness of the human heart gains an all-consuming power.

The sheet music is available in the following keys/versions: Quartet.
