Ellise Zhang has always made the right choice.
She made the right choice when she decided not to get on a cow at age 7. She also made the right choice when she decided not to go hiking a week after she sprained her leg climbing on top of a different cow at age 16. And, she definitely made the right choice when she quit her job to become an intern for the biggest makeup mogul of the 21st century.
However, when she chooses the world famous musical artist, Matias Olivier, as her face model, everything she knows about right choices seems wrong.
Faced with new obstacles and harrowing expectations, making the right choice has never been harder.
It turns out life isn't about making the right choices, it's just about making them.
