Karina's junior year is off to a rough start. Her long-distance boyfriend just dumped her, her overprotective mom won't let her hang out with friends, and she's stuck in art class with her ex-best friend Ace. But when a store-bought portfolio leads to an internship at a local art studio, Karina finds herself drawn into a vibrant world of color, self-expression, and unexpected connection. As she navigates the joys and challenges of first love, family expectations, and repairing old bonds, Karina must decide what she's willing to risk to stay true to herself.
