Molly is a lonely, once-failed ballerina living in a red brick building in Wicker Park, the heart of Chicago. She strings her paycheck from rent day to rent day, never able to put anything together, to make anything of herself. Her beautiful dance studio, for both young girls and old, barely keeps her fed or keeps clothes on her back. And, because of this busy, ever-brimming schedule, she is unable, ever, to live her life. To meet anyone romantically. To think about "doing" it.
Until: Drew arrives. He’s handsome, charming. He leads her away from her troubles, to a perfect day at the ballpark, to heart-wrenching lovemaking in the Four Seasons—the height of luxury. Molly is unsure of what to do, brimming with such love, such longing. She’s been ripped from her life of unrest, of constant stress, and brought into this new world of unbelievable experiences and riches.
But will this immaculate world of lovemaking, of grandeur truly solve her problems? Will she find herself losing her true passion—dance—on her way to a better, more fulfilling life? And how often can she lie to this supposed “man of her dreams†until she has to fess up about her true, hopeless self?
