Seventeen-year-old Lillian Fiorella has always lived in the shadow of perfection. As the daughter of Malta's wealthiest family, she's used to a life of luxury and high expectations. Her mother, Victoria, has been grooming her to be the perfect ballerina since she was five, pushing her to the limits as she prepares to perform as Odette in Swan Lake. The pressure is immense, and it doesn't help that her younger sister Adelaide, a tennis prodigy, and her little brother Louis, are also under their mother's strict regime. Lillian's world is further complicated by her father Ambrose's infidelity and the family's newest bombshell: Victoria is unexpectedly pregnant. As her mother spirals into depression, the tension at home becomes unbearable. Ballet is Lillian's only escape, her sanctuary from the chaos of her family life. Amidst the turmoil, Lillian's heart is torn between two boys: Stefan, her best friend Claire's twin brother, and Gray, a charming classmate in her architecture course. Balancing the demands of her ballet career, family drama, and a complicated love life, Lillian struggles to keep everything from falling apart. The climax of Lillian's journey comes when the family travels to London for her Swan Lake performance. With Victoria on the brink of giving birth and emotionally fragile, the Fiorella estate becomes a pressure cooker. Victoria's attempt to end her own life forces Lillian to face the harsh realities of her family's dysfunction.
