Zelda's a struggling writer desperate for a publishing deal. When her latest manuscript is rejected, she takes matters into her own hands, stealing the shoes of a famous author to impersonate her. But as Zelda's deception spirals, she's forced to confront the line between truth and fiction—and the consequences of her own feminine constructs. A biting commentary on the challenges women face in a male-dominated industry, laced with wry humor and imaginative twists.
