After a near-fatal overdose, 20-year-old Anya DeSotto is powerless to stop her dream of being a professional ballerina from pirouetting far out of reach... Until Revend Marcus, the owner of a prestigious - if crumbling - ballet company reluctantly offers his expertise. But Revend's attempts to reawaken her passion are unorthodox and dangerous, and soon both of them are caught up in an intimate dance more intricate than any pas de deux. As a shadow from Revend's past looms over their futures, Anya's insecurities and buried trauma pushes their dance to a violent crescendo, one which threatens to destroy them both. Though, sometimes, even destruction can be pretty perfect.
