There is a love story that intersects with the main plot. Anthony, who rescues Sweeney at sea before the show starts, sings this song after he sees Johanna for the first time. I can't give much more away without spoiling the show completely.

That is the full synopsis. It will tell you everything (if you want to read it all.)

Well, at least it wasn't the judge's "Johanna."

What the synopsis doesn't mention is that Anthony has no idea that Johannah is Sweeney's daughter. She doesn't know either.
