❝Til death, we do art ❞


Leonardo comes from a family full of artists, him being one himself. He loves his own company most of the time, he's quiet and finds comfort in books and art. An old painting that was passed down from generation to generation has been stolen. 

Ariá, daughter of well-known detective James Woods, finds out about his predicament through her father after Leonardo comes to him for help. She's inquisitive, she's confident and she loves to give a helping hand. Intrigued by the situation, she takes the case from her father and decides to solve the mystery with the help of her friend, Chloe. Throughout the entire case, Ariá gets rather close to Leonardo.

Friends? Lovers? There's a thin line between the two.
