synopsis

Kit, a work-obsessed literature student, decides, on a whim, to go to a dance class. And for a while it looks like Joe, the shadowy figure she meets there, may tempt her to put her books aside and live a little.

But as Joe’s world becomes increasingly threatening and Kit’s research leads her to stumble on a complex historical mystery, she is faced with a choice. Should she hide herself away in her studies or make the leap of faith that could change her existence forever?
