Against her parents' wishes, Rin, a naïve but determined American 21-year-old, is off to study acting at an unconventional London drama school. So far Rin's done everything right. This is her one chance to do something daring.
London 1968-The capital of cool. Electric and unpredictable, it's full of characters who are as seductive as they are unreliable. Rin is torn between the demands of acting school and the glittering roller-coaster life of Chelsea, where every night promises adventure—or more often than not, disaster. A glamorous country weekend turns into a bungled jewel heist orchestrated by an unapologetically immoral former debutante. There's an affair with a famous actor whose romantic plate is fuller than she knew. A promising film job in Rome turns out to be a surreal scheme. And then she falls for a charismatic rogue who might be the love or her undoing.
Funny, romantic, irreverent, and unexpectedly touching this coming-of-age story is about defying expectations and chasing dreams. Through comic misadventure, heartbreak, and exhilarating realization, Rin will discover that sometimes getting gloriously lost is the only way to find yourself.
