"Stranger" is not a love story.
It's a story of drama, fear, anxiety, joy, frenzy, alcohol, and drugs. It's the story of Olivia-a thirty-four-year-old woman born in Rome, now living in New York City. A music professor at Columbia, she moves between lecture halls and underground clubs, swinging between the rigor of her profession and the chaos of her nights.
Her life is a constant balancing act.
By day, Olivia is composed, magnetic, intelligent-a respected teacher and an artist who helps her students find their voice through music.
By night, the city pulls her into its whirlpool: smoke, drugs, dim lights, moving bodies, endless glasses of bourbon.
And then there's Norman.
A stranger, yet oddly familiar.
An unexpected variable in a life Olivia thought had already been written.
He's unlike any man she's ever met-unimpressed by her masks, unwilling to settle for the half-truths she feeds everyone else. He's direct, intense... maybe dangerous.
Something about him draws her in-and terrifies her at the same time.
