When Marilyn Thornes family becomes bankrupt, she is sent to live in the concrete jungle that is called New York City. Living with her eccentric aunt whilst her family is desperately getting back on their feet, Marilyn has never felt more alone without them and her dearest friend, Lilly. Making her way back from her new school, Farleen high; where all the girls tower in stilettos and have manicured nails that could easily gouge out someone's eyeballs; Marilyn is model scouted. Seeing this as a money making opportunity for her family, Marilyn plunges in to the abyss of the fashion industry. Through her endeavours she meets a guy that can fake a smile better than a paid clown. Gray Lavandale. Entranced by his demeanour, and him equally enthralled by her fire, they become close. However, there's a reason Gray is so closed off and aloof- his father may be the most in demand and notorious photographer of the industry. Yet,there is more than what meets the eye to Mr. Lavandale and Gray is intent on exposing his abusive fathers secret. If it's just you and Mr. Lavandale, you're going to want to burn those photos.
