Manda’s husband Steve regards her sketches mere bits of paper and has no qualms in burning them. Devastated she feels she’ll never be able to draw again. Yet, lacking something to do in the new flat in Mission Bay, she is soon drawn back to her old passion. Slowly her life changes as her passion turns to obsession she finds she no longer wants to fit the mold of everyone’s expectations. Her rebellion widens the rift between her and Steve and divides family and friends as they take sides. This is an artist’s journey, and the story of a woman’s growth to emancipation.
