While stuck in a persistent creative rut, Paul is captivated by Holly’s dazzling superficial world; of course, not because he likes the idea that he reminds her of her brother, but because, little by little, he succumbs to Holly’s beguiling allure. And even though they don’t openly admit it, the two reluctant lovers have a past they struggle to keep at bay. However, are their well-hidden secrets powerful enough to keep them apart? After all, Paul and Holly are meant for each other. Will an early-morning breakfast at Tiffany’s be the prelude to a breezy young love affair?
