Every century, the Moon descends to Earth to choose a lover -a mortal whose soul will join her in the sky, keeping her company through eternity. But when she meets Love, a painter who captures moonlight on her canvases, something changes.
When Love refuses the offer of immortality, the Moon gives up on the sky and stays on Earth to understand what it means to have a heart. As she learns to live, she begins to fade from the heavens -tides falter, stars dim, and the sky begs her to return.
Now Love must choose: let the woman she loves return to the stars and forget her, or keep her on Earth and let the world unravel.
