Solène Monet is a 26-year-old French painter whose fame stretches across continents, but whose heart remains untouched. In New York, she lives a life of curated isolation, where emotion is poured only onto canvas, never into people.
Leia Wright is a 22-year-old Art Journalism student at NYU - lively, disarming, and endlessly curious. When an assignment leads her to Solène's latest exhibition at The Met, what starts as research quickly turns into something more complicated. And more human.
Leia sees beyond the artist's icy exterior; Solène finds herself drawn to the girl who radiates everything she's long shut out. As their worlds begin to blur, the lines between muse and critic, artist and girl, start to shift.
But some connections burn quietly, slowly - and not all of them are built to last.
In the end, will they become each other's masterpiece... or just a beautiful stain time can't quite wash away?
