La Serenissima (Venice)

'There is still one of which you never speak'
Marco Polo bowed his head.
'Venice'

The same applied to Alexandra Hier, who, plagued by a string of morbidly auspicious events, is lead to a life of glitz and glamour in esteemed town of Hollywood. She is known in the public eye as the young, beautiful star of a hot new TV-series, The Dawn and her rumored romance with co-star Vincent Le Clerc but behind the curtain of the stage she is just a girl with an ardent love for Italian Literature and the city of Venice, a passion so strong she vows to stand clear of Italy until she has met her one true love but what happens when she is offered the lead role of a movie by world renowned film director, Dimitrius Schoelcher, a movie which happens to be filming in Venice?
It becomes increasingly difficult to walk away from the idea of the film with strong coercion from those around her, including Schoelcher's young, attractive nephew, William Kelsher, with whom she shares her impassioned interest in the art of literature.
She finds herself falling for his charms and intellect, slowly conceding to those around her but when the doors of William's past are opened, her convictions are shattered and all that she stood for is lost as she faces the harsh reality that William isn't the person she thought she knew.
