Abby was the top of her high school class academically, using her artistic brilliance she enrolls in the University of Michigan only to wind up back at her parents' house. But, upon hearing of her 10 year high school reunion she slithers back into the school gym at the potential of her old friend Elise's presence. Elise and Abby inseparable in childhood faded by Elise's fame in Hollywood as she disappeared from the Midwest and created a life for herself on the coast. Just as the reunion wraps up Elise invites Abby to visit if she ever finds herself in L.A.

Uprooting herself from a life of nothingness in Michigan, Abby makes her way to L.A. and calls Eloise. The life Abby begins to create for herself in Eloise's presence, through her encouragement turn Abby's in art and thoughts into a disturbing vortex. Written through the oddly unstable mind of Abby this story was parts tormenting and parts rich.
