Monroe Lancey has always been a dreamer and an artist, and though her dreams were never actualized, her excitement to go to sleep every night never subsided. Satisfaction always came from the flashing stars and colors behind her eyelids at night as well as the drawings she penciled in the next morning.

However, a child can be content with stars and blissful visions for so long until the hardships of the world make them wonder: why do dreams never come true? She can wish on shooting stars or even on a god, yet when these hopes fall flat and celestial entities prove themselves meaningless, Monroe finds her life falling apart. When anger and turmoil swell in response to a loss, Monroe must find a way to trust the stars once more.All Rights Reserved
