Celeste, at the less-than-tender age of 29, finds herself engaged to Alex, living in a penthouse apartment, and jetting off on exotic trips. But soon Celeste discovers that he's not perfect. Alex makes her angry, sometimes everything he does makes her angry. And she's drinking a lot.
As Celeste begins to question her relationship and herself, she is haunted by painful memories from her past - her beautiful French mother who died young, consuming friendships, and her lingering passion for a man who is not Alex. In a bold refusal to compromise, Celeste finds that only by allowing herself to emotionally relive her past can she know in what direction to take her future.
