Millie spent a year recovering from the suicide attempt that ended her film career and cost her both legs. She thinks her story is over until the Arcadia Project recruits her. This covert organization monitors the hidden connections between Hollywood and a parallel realm populated by mythical beings. Millie's first case involves locating a vanished movie star who secretly holds noble rank in the Seelie Court. Her investigation forces her to navigate Hollywood's power brokers while uncovering the bizarre reality beneath the entertainment industry's surface. Unknown enemies work against her at every turn. The missing nobleman's fate could determine whether an ancient treaty survives or collapses into open warfare between two worlds. Millie must overcome her borderline personality disorder and physical limitations while racing to prevent catastrophe. Success means proving herself worthy of this new purpose. Failure means losing everything again and watching centuries of peace crumble into conflict.
