Mavryx survives by running. A champion on every track she's touched---horses, cars, motorcycles---she lives for speed, for the rush, for the illusion of control. People know her name. They know her wins. What they don't know is what she's really running from. Aaliyah survives by staying. Raised inside power and silence, she learned early how to observe, to listen, to understand what others refuse to say. Now a psychologist, calm and composed, she's drawn to the kind of pain that doesn't make noise. When their worlds collide, control begins to slip. Some people run. Some people stay. And sometimes, the ones who feel safest are the ones who undo you.

Mikha Lim is the art world's "Enfant Terrible", a reclusive, abrasive genius known for her chaotic, vibrant, and heartbreaking abstract portraits. Every single one of her million-dollar paintings features the silhouette of the same woman, but the face is always obscured, blurred, or turned away. Aiah Arceta is a calm, meticulous museum curator who has just returned to Manila after five years in Florence. She has been hired to curate the biggest retrospective of the decade: The Lim Collection.
