Grace Winsor rebuilds her illustration career after betrayal.
Grace Winsor pours everything into her illustration work until boyfriend Raymond and best friend Madelyn turn her trust into a cruel wager, wrecking a pivotal competition entry, smashing her laptop, and locking her inside her apartment without anti-anxiety medication. A panic-driven escape leaves her badly injured. Shattered but unbroken, she flees to an art residency in Isvind where professor Eloise and curator Jeff offer steady support, guiding her recovery toward a solo exhibition. When Raymond and Madelyn later appear pleading for reconciliation, Grace refuses and walks away.
