A betrayed illustrator escapes sabotage and confinement, rebuilds her art practice in the north, and refuses her abusers' plea for return.
Grace Winsor's boyfriend Raymond and best friend Madelyn treat her existence as a wager, wrecking her competition piece, smashing her laptop, and withholding the anti-anxiety medication she depends on. Locked in her apartment, she sustains serious injuries during a desperate, panic-fueled breakout. She accepts a residency in Isvind, where professor Eloise and curator Jeff provide the stability she needs to recover and mount a solo show. When the pair later arrive pleading for absolution, Grace refuses to reopen the door, choosing instead to move forward beneath the aurora.
